lua is p. good tbh, especially when embedding it in other programs.

i've used it in some embedded systems where we implemented some nice green threads in the host system made it easy to deploy a bunch of services that could work with almost no resources. the language itself has some weird behavior but its fast and simple.

lua has slightly fewer objectively bad decisions than javascript but it's a very similar language and nothing would be any different if we got lua in the browser instead of js (if you pretend that we had lua 5.0 in 1995 instead of 2.1, which was still a few years away from getting anonymous functions and closures)

imagine that, within an environment running an embedded lua interpreter, you want to resolve using both regular old DNS, but also want to implement essentially an internal resolver allowing you to manually define records for hosts. furthermore, you need to work around a weird quirk where your platform ignores /etc/hosts for some reason.

Do they also have to give you 3 months notice before laying you off in Norway? Because if so lol that wouldn't fly in the us.

that�s how it normally works in europe, notice periods are symmetrical unless you like stab your coworker during office hours. id say that 1 month is more common than 3 weeks, taking continental europe on the whole, but it�s not uncommon, for senior positions in particular, to have 3-6 months long notice period

if something ignores the host file, it's probably also ignoring gethostbyname(3) and resolver(3), and should probably be just be throw into /dev/null as quickly as possible since it's likely filled with secfucs waiting to happen

In the US "senior" or executive positions will also normally have contracts, buy-outs, parachutes, etc etc. But the number of those positions compared to the normal peasants that can and will be fired with no-notice is probably like 1:50 or so.

yeah that�s radically different here, ive seen junior positions with 3 months notice, and anything with less than 1 month notice is explicitly illegal. the only cases where notice is permitted to be shorter are 1) crime on job/breaking the contract 2) doing work drunk 3) you�re still on your probation, which lasts 3 months here and allows either side to sever relationship unilaterally with 2 days notice and no reason
