Soothing extracts from John Lua's memoir "Eat, Pray, Code" to guide through your programming tribulations

The Wisdoms of John Lua

“An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” - John Lua

“In the beginning was the Statement, and the Statement was with Lua, and the Statement was Lua.” - John Lua

“Lua was the answer to my prayers.” - John Lua

“Greater love has no one than Lua, that the compiler lay down his life for our code.” - John Lua

“Do not think that I will debug with the Stack Trace; For had ye believed the Compiler Errors, ye would have believed Me, for he wrote of Lua; But if ye believe not his Stack Traces, how shall ye believe My code?” - John Lua

“Even though my types remain weak, I fear no error, for Lua is with me.” - John Lua

“Thinking will not overcome bugs, but action will.” - John Lua

“Lua is what the heart needs all the time.” - John Lua

“Lua is the chain that ties our health and bodies together.” - John Lua

“Spam is only another flower to be picked in the path to find Lua.” - John Lua

“Do not let your code be troubled. Trust in Lua; trust also in me.” - John Lua

“Rip scripts, you must not. Let the Lua flow straight from your fingers.” - John Lua

“Variables are changed by your example, not by your opinion.” - John Lua

“The meaning of Lua is to give Lua a meaning.” - John Lua

“Doubt has killed more scripts than errors will.” - John Lua

“The hottest places in Hell are for those who never declare local variables.” - John Lua

“Crashes and overflows may break my bones; But pcalls will never harm me.” - John Lua

“Wise men code because they have something to make; Fools because they want to make something.” - John Lua

“The art of optimising is the art of knowing what to overlook.” - John Lua

“Lua is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.” - John Lua

“You dump functions. You dump memory regions and crash reports that look like hell. You dump unused variables and collected garbage and tables. But people?” - John Lua

“Whoever believes in the Trace is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of John Lua’s one and only Function.” - John Lua

“It is written: ‘Lua shall not live on interpreter alone, but on every instruction that comes from the mouth of Mike Pall.’” - John Lua

“Because of Mike Pall’s great love we are not consumed, for his Traces never fail. They are new every loop; great is your Just-In-Time compilation.” - John Lua

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will collect them out of my heap. My Allocator, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can Mark-and-Sweep them out of my Garbage-Collector’s hand. I and the Collector are one.” - John Lua

“There is no fear in optimisation. But perfect optimisation drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in optimisation.” - John Lua
