Why I migrated from Lua to TypeScript

· 7 min read

Part way through the development of Hecate I realized I was hitting the limitations of using pure Lua. While I have been using Lua for years, this was my largest project utilizing it, and its weaknesses for something of this scale really started to show. I eventually made the decision to migrate to TypeScript, and it definitely improved the development process, but not without some bumps along the way.
