The Lobster Programming Language
I could not find any description on a `continue` statement which can be seen in other languages, and it does not seem to be a reserved identifier inside loops. Is...
I'm following through the Shooter tutorial. It's very nicely done, thank you! However, I've spent 5-10 minutes figuring why Lobster fails when there's space between `for` and `(`. I found...
Co-routines have been in Lobster since almost the beginning, because they are in theory a great match for a language that aims to be used for programming games and other...

Once one gets into the groove of writing lobster, writing contextual state management routines is a seemingly "obvious" or "natural" thing to do (e.g. builtins like `gl_translate` already point in...
According to the website: "Reference Counting with **cycle detection at exit**". Does that mean **at program exit**? I don't believe so, as it would mean that doubly-linked list were unusable...
I've tried running the pre-built macoS-x64 lobster download on an M1 Mac but it crashes when run. I've also downloaded the source with the included XCode project. I've managed to...
Is Lobster going to have modules with namespaces (lib.f), or prefixes (lib_f) are here to stay?
Hi, I maintain the NixOS package for lobster, and I noticed there are some vendored packages in `dev/external`. This causes longer build times, and makes it difficult to keep them...
Looking through the documentation and other Lobster-related materials, I could not find answers to the following questions: Are there any existing third-party libraries available for Lobster? If there are, where...
