This means that the Luan source code is actually perfectly suitable documentation for the Luan API. If I was to document all of the Luan API, I would actually be mostly duplicating the <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/overview-summary.html">Java API documentation</a>. So while I will continue to expand the <a href="manual.html">Luan Reference Manual</a>, this is not my top priority. To use Luan, you must get <a href="https://hg.reactionary.software/repo/luan/">the source</a> and get a basic understanding of the API which is in <a href="https://hg.reactionary.software/repo/luan/file/tip/src/luan/modules">luan/src/luan/modules</a>.</p> | 38 <p>In other cases, there is a very thin layer between Luan and Java.
