Moses, utility library for functional programming in Lua

I wrote this library while working in Torch because I missed clojure.core:

https://github.com/rosejn/lua-fn/blob/master/fn/seq.lua

It provides a lazy sequence abstraction based on iterators as well as a nice set of functional building blocks. I think this type of library design is better than the for loop based style of moses because you can handle infinite sequences, partially sampled execution, early stopping, etc.

How does this compare to https://github.com/rtsisyk/luafun ?

Why would I use this if I already use Penlight for functional programming utils and classic [1] for OOP in lua?

Nice library - I've put it on my workbench for some experiments. I've been using lua-enumerable for pretty much the same purpose - its a little lighter (single file to drop into your project) and it grafts on top of table, so its also less likely to impact your other usage of "_", if you use it, in a project ..

I find aliases to be pretty clearly bad API. By all means, include those aliases in documentation so people can search using them, but having a code base littered with two different names for the same thing makes it harder to search, learn from and code-mod it.
