[Q] TODO

[ildar]

Looks like not so many Lua devs in Kaitai. Or am I wrong?
Wanted to discuss some things this runtime could be improved in.

1. Package it. I.e. make a rock in terms of LuaRock projects.This only requires writing down one file (rockspec). Should be easy.
2. Put all submodules under one umbrella. E.g.:
   • class → kaitai.class
   • enum → kaitai.enum
   • kaitaistruct → kaitai.kaitaistruct
   • and so on
3. Add some tests and/or examples.

That's all I see at the first glance. Maybe add some later.

UTF-8 support is a must have.

@ildar can I invite you to check out #5 ? If kaitai-io/kaitai_struct#798 gets merged I'd like to build the things you mentioned on top of it

It does not look like there's much going on with Lua target development, so I would suggest to be bold, go ahead and implement your suggestions.

There's recent issue raised #1 — you might want to ask all the folks out there.

@ildar i've split your suggestions into separate issues, if you think all your ideas so far has been covered, you can probably close this ticket, thank you for participating
