The love2d community is definitely still active, especially on IRC. Some of the nicest folks I've ever spoken to over the internet.

I can't recommend the language or its community highly enough.

A couple of friends just successfully launched a commercial game on android/ios/steam using love2d, and they're really happy with the results.

I couldn't believe it was made with lua, it runs really smooth.

The love2d source code is in C++. I believe Lua interpreter was embedded as a scripting mechanism

AFAIK, LÖVE integrates LuaJIT.

Why wouldn't it run smooth if it was made with Lua?
