Luau Quote Generator

A simple Luau program — a random quote generator, converted from Lua. Luau is a fast, small, gradually-typed language derived from Lua 5.1, maintained by Roblox. This project demonstrates static types, type-checking with luau-analyze, and running via the luau CLI.

Requirements

• Luau (managed via mise — aqua:luau-lang/luau, ships luau, luau-analyze, luau-compile)
• Razd CLI

Quick Start

# Setup project
razd

# Or run directly
razd dev

Available Commands

• razd - Setup and run the project
• razd dev - Run the quote generator
• razd run - Alias for dev
• razd check - Type-check the Luau source with luau-analyze
• razd install - Install tools via mise

Luau vs Lua

• Static types — main.luau annotates the table and locals ({ string }, : number, : ()).
• luau-analyze — static type-checking and linting before runtime (razd check).
• luau — the standalone CLI to run scripts.
