A tiny single-file class module for Lua providing simple object-oriented programming with inheritance, mixins, and static variables. It prioritizes simplicity and performance by avoiding unnecessary abstraction.
Use cases
- add oop classes to lua projects
- implement class inheritance in lua
- use mixins in lua
- call superclass constructors in lua
- check object types at runtime in lua
- define metamethods like __tostring on classes
When to choose
- you want a minimal, dependency-free oop layer for lua
- you need simple inheritance and mixins without heavy frameworks
- you're writing a LÖVE or game project needing lightweight classes
When to avoid
- you need full-featured oop with access control or interfaces
- you need metatable-heavy features like operator overloading beyond basic metamethods
- your project already uses a larger class library
