[Lua in Leadwerks 5 is Solved]

Branding is a difficult thing to achieve.  Companies re-brand themselves many times over the course of company solvency.  The only input I can give on this subject is when there is a core shift in the cultural ideas of said company.  This isn't to Josh, whom is more business oriented actually running one while I still work for one, this is to anybody reading in general.  Successful companies know when they evolve so does its culture and its ideas and that is where re-branding comes in.

Regarding pointers and Lua.  Lua is so highly underrated for a scripting language.  Of all scripting languages it's the closest to C in simplicity.  Combine that with C++, which as an aside by the time C++23 comes out raw pointers are *OUT*.  C++ was always meant to lean towards references but that backward compatibility with C made it what it was; although now you don't hear about pedantic conversations of C/C++ being interchanged.  They are two different languages now and continue to diverge.  

Hate to sound like I am ranting or rambling but I will say this:  Leadwerks is the only proprietary piece of software I am not only willing to shell out my own money for, I actually do with every opportunity...pitching ideas in unrelated circles to Steam or the wanna be game programmer and that whole "speaking with your money" part in the States where I reside this means something.  I have seen many pro's and con's with Josh, Leadwerks, etc. on social media that it made me a late comer to this product and community.  Some things I have not liked but in the end the actual product speaks for itself which is what matters most; even if I disagreed with Josh.

I believe, and I may be wrong, but it is my belief Josh wants a successful business while still having a loyal customer base not because of his company or his product but both and that is something I have subscribed myself to supporting as a customer.

Apologies if this sounds like some pointless rant but I am juggling a family, a successful Principal Engineer/Manager, and ready to work for myself instead of someone else.  I have to finish cooking dinner, get the kids to bed, and then get back to my side project with LeadWerks.  After 25+ years doing this I see a way to break the cycle without being beholden to the hamster wheel.
