I asked for the forum software to be written in Luan, not Java. In Luan, the Python print statement works fine.

Regarding your username, let me assure you that you are not God regardless of Diogenes's views.

    That may be true. But Luan is trivial to learn. Anyway, I will just wait and see.

      Luan doesn't have packages and this is intentional for 2 reasons.

      First, Python is a stand-alone language so libraries are written in Python. Luan depends on Java. So libraries are never written in Luan. Libraries are written in Java. Luan is purely an application programming language.

      The other reason for packages is big application. I have experience developing big applications and I hate them. Managing them is a nightmare. My solution is to break up a big application into smaller cooperating applications that call each other. Each small application is its own program owned by one programmer. The small apps call each other but don't trust each other so that if one app fails, the others keep working. This means programmers are totally responsible for their own app and can release whenever they want. So no bureaucracy. Luan is designed for this approach, so no need for packages here.
