About:
Lune is a standalone runtime for executing Luau scripts, similar to Node.js for JavaScript. It provides a robust standard library for filesystem operations, networking, and process management. This makes it an excellent tool for building automation scripts, backend services, and development tooling without a game engine.
Key Features:
  • Standalone Luau runtime environment
  • Comprehensive standard library for I/O and networking
  • Built-in package management and async support
  • Strong typing with Luau type checking
Use Cases:
  • Writing automation scripts for file and data processing
  • Developing lightweight backend services and APIs
  • Creating custom CLI tools and developer utilities
Alternatives:
  • Lua – Standard Lua requires external libraries for many tasks Lune includes natively
  • Node.js – JavaScript runtime with a larger ecosystem, but heavier resource footprint
