Right, my bad. Still, being able to do more to aid the creation and maintenance of packages than just install packages doesn't make something "not a package manager".


It's like a package manager on steroids!

When I tried using Gleam, I loved that it came with all the basic tooling I needed and that's what I think is so wonderful about Lux. I don't want to spend my time fiddling around with setting up all the individual tools — I just want to write code. For me, Lux makes the broader experience around building Lua projects a lot more enjoyable.


I’ve come to using turboLua as my main Lua ‘Swiss army tool’, since it comes with so many things built-in, on top of a fairly functional luajit 2.0.

If I can get lux to deal with the package management scenarios around a few turboLua projects, I’m pretty sure I’m going to ship much more Lua code next year.
