This is wonderful, I'm starting with lua & it's manual, the way lua is used in neovim config with vims api is something i found confusing off the bat.

Very nice tutorial on lua, thanks for that. I think I’ll start getting into lua pretty soon now. I already made the switch from vim to nvim so learning lua was just something on the back burner for me to do. A couple of things. Love the ‘jk’ alias btw.. I use a dvorak keyboard so it’s ‘tn’ for me since my home row is ‘htns’ on the right hand. I also have the following maps which are very much essential shift-q maps to :q shift-w maps to :w shift-x maps to :x And another lifesaver is the ‘entr’ utility. In tmux you can run entr in one pane and it will watch for changes to a file and if it’s been touched or saved, entr will run a command that you want. So you can set that up to run something everytime you save your file in vim pane, and you don’t have to jump to the other tmux pane to rerun a command. I find it extremely helpful..

Having a data structure which is a mix of array and dictionary is genius

Lua returning `nil` for things it doesn't know is actually quite awesome. You can just do things like `print(v[99] or "I don't know.")`.

Take a shot of vodka every time you hear "footgun".

I would be drunk.

I should add that I am a subscriber and that I liked the video. I had to google footgun. I was pleased that I had heard it correctly; my hearing is not as good as it was. Also, I am not a pro developer.
