I love Hammerspoon!! here's my one handed shortcuts for window control across multiple monitors: https://gist.github.com/pazimzadeh/b1c70f5f205d0b63264e7c021...

What will v2 enable??

Hammerspoon is basically my only reason to write Lua, a language which I really like. I am sure JavaScript is a more pragmatic choice but I will be slightly saddened by it regardless.

Agreed, I never considered it a selling point but I did enjoy having an excuse to explore the language in Hammerspoon (and Neovim too).

Can't wait for the JS switch! Personally, it's having to figure out Lua is what's kept me away from it... :)

> a v2 atm, which switches from Lua to JavaScript :D

Presumably that'll be released in [checks calendar] 18 days?

Have you though of some more modern language agnostic solution like wasm plugins users could write in anything, with the help of typed languages if they like? Or is that not feasible for a scripting project like this?

Thank you for your work on Hammerspoon! I’ve been using it for years.

Would you mind elaborating on your vision for v2? Was there a certain limitation in the previous architecture that you’re trying to avoid this time around? Was there something in particular that drew you to choosing JavaScript for this version?

Will this lead to some synergy with AppleScript, which added JavaScript a few years ago?

I'm curious if the switch was for dev ergonomics or the mindshare of the languages?
