Probably something already known about: [rembulan](https://github.com/mjanicek/rembulan) apparently compiles lua directly to java bytecode.

Yeah, I noticed that too. There does still seem to be some activity on [this fork](https://github.com/wizards-of-lua/rembulan), but it does seem like it would require a new maintainer. It's a shame,...

> It's worth noting that something which compiles to bytecode doesn't have the same risks as running arbitrary bytecode. Most sandbox escapes come from library code, which isn't an issue...

CC is pretty much designed not to give access to the real world(with a few exceptions). Maybe the filesystem should be case-insensitive on all platforms, which [wouldn't be too hard](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34717571)...

IMHO it would be useful to default to case-insensitivity so a person can write scripts on Windows(or Mac), share them with people(who often will use them on servers, which are...

Some older discussions on the original [ComputerCraft repo](https://github.com/dan200/ComputerCraft): [[Suggestion] turtle.getFacing()](https://github.com/dan200/ComputerCraft/issues/383) [Add turtle.getTurn()](https://github.com/dan200/ComputerCraft/pull/473)

Just my two cents. To keep it from seeming too magical, maybe a craftable magnetometer that requires calibration, and so long as it is equipped, it will report the difference...
