Why Lua?
--------
Lua ...
* shares many goals with KISS, such as simplicity and efficiency.
* offers advantages over shell as a "proper" programming language.
* can easily be extended by code written in C (etc).
* is relatively fast.
Dependencies
------------
* Lua 5.4 (but I've tried to make it work with 5.1 too for LuaJIT)
* luaposix library <https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix>
* BLAKE3 C library <https://git.sr.ht/~mcf/b3sum> (built with -fPIC)
Rationale: plain Lua lacks UNIX-specific bindings which we need (working with
files and paths) so either I would write a set of Lua bindings to C, but it's as
simple to use an existing set such as luaposix.
