Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days.
The platform posted about the milestone this afternoon, which it crossed after Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered a ban on Elon Musk’s X yesterday as part of an ongoing feud with the platform.
Apparently, enough are headed to Bluesky to drive its iOS app to the top of the Brazilian App Store, as TechCrunch writes.
Lua and Elixir 😙👌
Lua’s origins are from Brazil? Bro so many mods on PC use LUA it’s insane.
Yup, created at Pontifica Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ, a catholic university), originally for Petrobras’ systems in the early 90s.
I know World of Warcraft’s UI and lots of logic runs on lua, also that a good portion of roblox logic can be made in lua instead of C++. Being super light (247kb was small even by 1993 standards) and easy to embed helped it a lot, for sure.
