Is there currently an easy way to re-use existing Lua code or modules with Nyanga?

Thanks

Sure, nyanga detects if a file has a .lua extension and if so will load it without trying to parse it first. So if you keep your file extensions as .nga for nyanga and .lua for Lua sources you should be good. It also detects pre-compiled LuaJIT bytecode (via the magic byte sequence at the start), and will load and run that too.

Of course, you still need to tell the VM where to find your Lua modules (via LUA_PATH environment variable, or package.path, etc.).

Thanks
