I was thinking, if you're going to be Linux specific, ljsyscall is a much
better way to go.
If you're going to be "cross platform", then luafilesystem might be beneficial
for some cases.
But really? If you're going 'cross', then there's a fair bit that's actually
only Linux specific anyway (doesn't apply to Windows).
I'd like to see an equivalent to ljsyscall for Windows, and then build higher
level stuff such as luafilesystem on top of that. But, I'd probably do it with
some structured classes, rather than straight API calls.
LuaSocket is a whole other beast. Here, just having some "native socket"
interface would be beneficial, and it's very specific for each platform. Then
I'd have a bunch of web tools available, like mime, etc.
Then I'd just use Luvit instead and call it a day.
But hay, that's just me.
