Porting some Lua packages to Teal

[catwell]

I wrote a small gfshare implementation in Lua for fun and converted it to Teal.

Its tests used base2base (a base-to-base converter, here to convert to and from hex). I started by writing a .d.tl file but eventually I converted base2base to Teal (it was easy).

... but the base2base tests used cwtest (a test helper), so eventually I converted it to Teal as well (it was... a bit less easy, but still manageable :p). I published both cwtest and base2base to luarocks.

I will probably keep doing this with more of my Lua packages, Teal is now usable enough. I just wish luarocks had better support for Teal (in particular I wish I could use luarocks test like I did before) but this is hardly enough to keep me from using Teal by default now.

I will probably keep doing this with more of my Lua packages, Teal is now usable enough. I just wish #836 (in particular I wish I could use luarocks test like I did before) but this is hardly enough to keep me from using Teal by default now.

The particular case of luarocks test is also discussed in #872 (reply in thread) (and replies), at least in the scope of using Busted with Teal.
