#! nix-shell with lua interpreter

To use a nix-shell shebang with lua you will need to use following structure:

#! /usr/bin/env nix-shell
--[[
#! nix-shell -i lua -p lua
]]

print("this is from lua")

Some background by samueldr[1]:

Two inter-twined fun facts.

  • Lua only skips one shebang line.
  • nix-shell doesn't require its magic lines to be right after the first line.
