The list is long.
To develop in Lua, you can check a very extensive but not exhaustive list on the lua-users wiki. Following is the list if the link falls:
IDE's that works with Lua by using plugins:
- Eclipse
- Emacs
- howl
- IntelliJ IDEA
- Visual Studio
IDE's that work with Lua without needing plugin:
- Crown SDK
- decode
- Glider
- ZeroBrane Studio
- LuaEdit 2010
- wxLua
- Star editor
- Gideros Studio
- Game Kitchen
- Comet
Editors only:
- CodeMAX
- Scythian
- Textadept
- Vim
- Zeus for Windows
I left from outside thirteen IDEs that have been without receiving updates for a long time.
As you can see, there are more options than you have teeth. We can not indicate one IDE or another easily - each has its unique characteristics (I leave it to your discretion to study them), and the only ways to find out the most suitable for your case are:
- Test one by one, or;
- have enough knowledge about IDE's features that you wouldn'T need to ask the question of any way.
I was going to put together a list of Ide's for Android, but a quick search made me feel that the list might be even bigger than that of Moon IDE's. But there are some more well-known ones. I will quote:
- Eclipse
- Android Studio
- Visual Studio (especially if you use Xamarin)
Already for iOS, you have:
- Xcode
- AppCode
- Code Runner
- Visual Studio (again, in particular with Xamarin)
Again, I believe that if you search hard you will find material to last a lifetime.
The fact is that nowadays, for any commercially successful language, the programmer just does not use an IDE that is convenient for him if he does not want to.
