daurnimator did an archeology to find all the original Lua source code development history and convert it into a Git repository for easier viewing.

Main source: https://github.com/lua/lua Tests: https://github.com/lua/tests luac: https://github.com/lua/luac manual: https://github.com/lua/manual

His talk: https://www.lua.org/wshop16/Daurnimator.pdf

Swagbag! Oh man, this is so cool. I've always wondered what Lua's development looked like, but I remember Ierusalimschy mentioning that developing Lua out in the open would end up being too noisy.

I really enjoy his stance on development practices, and although this is cool to view, I hope he doesn't change his stance.
