ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight, cross-platform Lua IDE written in Lua, featuring code completion, syntax highlighting, live coding, a code analyzer, and local/remote debugging. It supports Lua 5.1-5.4, LuaJIT, and many Lua engines and frameworks such as LÖVE, Corona, Moai, OpenResty, Redis, and Torch7.

Use cases

  • debug lua scripts with breakpoints and variable inspection
  • remotely debug lua running inside nginx or redis
  • live code a love2d or corona game
  • learn lua with interactive tutorials and demo scripts
  • edit lua files with syntax highlighting and auto-completion
  • debug lua on embedded or home automation devices

When to choose

  • you need a small, portable Lua IDE with a real debugger
  • you debug Lua embedded in game engines or other applications
  • you want a beginner-friendly editor with integrated lessons

When to avoid

  • you need a full general-purpose IDE for large multi-language projects
  • you require deep refactoring or language-server features
  • you want an actively developed tool with frequent updates
