Here's the problem, dumbed down so people can understand what's holding up development:

  • Lua runs in it's own thread in order to prevent locking up the client, since it runs in a loop.
  • The UI operates in the main thread. We cannot change this.
  • We need an efficient and flexible means to communicate between Lua and the main thread (UI).
  • Such a means cannot reasonably use sockets, don't bother suggesting it.


Any suggestions?
