This sounds amazing. I use Lua a lot, and luarocks has been nearly useless for anything I need it to do because it's so heavily opinionated. For anything more than "install a library specifically for direct execution on the local system" or anything around that, it's a non starter. Have an embedded scripting environment that works with Lua packages and you want to package scripts with dependencies for use there? Give up.

I don't know if this is better for that use case, but even if not, luarocks is clunky and annoying to use at best.
