My multitasking library for lua. It is a pure lua binding, with exceptions of the integrations.

Progress is being made in v15.3.0

INSTALLING

Link to optional dependencies: lanes love2d

To install copy the multi folder into your environment and you are good to go
If you want to use the system threads, then you'll need to install lanes or love2d game engine! or use luarocks luarocks install multi
