Technical Foundations of Lua and AO: Building Scalable Decentralised Applications
Decentralised computing systems balance efficiency, scalability, and flexibility. Lua, a lightweight programming language, works seamlessly with ao, a hyper-parallel computer designed for large-scale workloads. Together, they provide tools to build powerful, scalable DApps. This article is the first in a series exploring how Lua and ao work together to create innovative solutions.What Makes Lua a Great Fit for Decentralised Computing?Lua stands out as a scripting language for its simplicity a...

Writing unit tests for your AO processes using the Test module
Developing your decentralised applications on Arweave ao is simple, all you have to do is, create variables and functions to store and modify your data, then create handlers which will handle the incoming messages and call the defined functions accordingly :) But writing backend logic, that too for a radically new environment using a language that you might never have programmed in before, can be a daunting task. Moreover, you would not want there to be any loopholes in your code right? Well,...
