History

This porject works on top of the working prototype port of tranquility, the og lua port. I originally intended this as a moonscript port, because it has a more tarse syntax. But as this project grew larger, lua tooling is obviously better. Plus I wrote the custom parser to replace it as the user code parser. So this project is the current lua port of Tidal that went the furtherest for now :)
