Luau Goes Open Source!

As days, weeks, years, pass… The developer community sees the need for the open-source. Many companies discourage it, though; other corporations, such as Mozilla (the creator of Firefox) and Wikipedia have embraced it… They are now successful. Now I see ROBLOX taking “steps” (for the lack of a better word) to the open-source movement.

Basically, all the inner workings of luau, the dialect of lua Roblox uses, have become free to use for everybody (on certain conditions described in the license)/

Wow, really glad to hear this! Didn’t expect this to release this year, great work Roblox!

This is very true. The Roblox client, at least on Windows, uses struct field shuffling, pointer encoding, VMProtect & other measures to make it more difficult to reverse-engineer. The public version of Luau has been run through “Rodactor”, which removes all the proprietary security measures from the code.
