Teal: a statically-typed dialect of Lua hits Hacker News
Lyngbakr · hn · 2026-10-17
A HN thread features Teal, a statically-typed dialect of Lua created by Hisham Muhammad. Teal lets you add type annotations in .tl files and compiles back to plain Lua, so it works with the existing Lua ecosystem and runtimes. It ships with a teal check type checker, making it a practical option for gradually adding type safety to game scripting and embedded Lua codebases.
