There is so many scripts and programs I would have written in lua if this thing worked properly.

Ah, I'm the one who misread, sorry.

Yeah, compiling things from scratch is the norm for lua packages, making them really only work on linux.

Sorry if it was unclear, I constantly get cryptic gcc errors using luarocks a package manager for lua. Its years behind pip.

Pip does fail sometimes, but its not half as bad as luarocks.

Lua runs everywhere (almost), but I cannot install a uuid library on windows.

Compared to luarocks, pip is amazing.

 

I've been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?
