Last night, February 15th, 2012, I had the pleasure of having dinner with the co-creator of the Lua language, Roberto Ierusalimschy. Roberto is a visiting professor at Stanford and is currently teaching a class in programming in Lua. The last time Roberto and I had dinner was in Rio de Janeiro, near PUC University, during the summer of 2010. I was visiting Rio during the World Cup, thought the games were all being played in South Africa, and took time out to meet with Roberto and dine with him.
Back then, at that dinner, we were joined by his wife, daughter and family friends. This time, it was just me and him, and a lot has happened since that dinner. I remember showing him some of the apps that had been created with Corona back then, and last night, I showed him some of the new and immersive games done in Corona. He pretty much wants me to give him a list of the games so he can install them on his iDevice. So, some of you, may get a promo request from me to give to Roberto, so he can install your app on his iDevice. How neat is that.
Aside from catching up in both the world of Ansca and personal, Roberto is looking forward to meeting Corona developers at a future meetup I plan to put together here at our HQ in Palo Alto. So if you are in the Bay Area, keep an eye out for the invitation to our meetup to meet with Roberto.
