lua-lambda
Takes a string, returns a function for quick function definition.
Usage
The lambda format is as follows:
l"(args) expr"
Example:
local l = require("lambda") -- Omit this in Minetest mods
local add_one = l"(x) x+1"
print(add_one(5)) --> 6
Installation
Luarocks
luarocks install lambda
Minetest
This module is available on Minetest's ContentDB, simple add lambda as a dependancy to your mod.conf and Minetest will automatically install the module for end-users. If you wish to manually install this, then you can either clone the repositiory and add it to your mods/ folder or download it here.
Why?
Because Lua needs more atomic modules which add functionality without creating a huge library. This module is supposed to be dead-simple to grab and start using in your project without adding anything extra. One of Lua's strengths is minimalism, and I think that it's ecosystem would do well to mirror that.
