The source will end up on GitHub when I get the chance to tidy things a little! For now, you could dig into the .love (which is just a renamed zip archive) that is available for the Linux preview. But you definitely shouldn't because I'll be pretty embarrassed.

Lua is very multi-paradigm so it certainly made for an interesting place to start. The most valuable thing I learned is profiling before optimizing. The way Lua tables work also helped me understand the advantages of different data structures, because if you don't, the flexibility is fairly treacherous. Lua also convinced me that static typing is very useful.
