what are you talking about, this looks amazing!

normally i can look at a code and know what it's attempting to do, but holy forget wtf is this. the only indication i had was the name of the file.
that's a pretty crap example since most of the issues with its readability are from poor property naming and weird stuff
for instance, why would loadstring return a function - also, he's not passing in an error with the assert so all he's gonna get is "assertion failed" if something's wrong, rather than a possibly descriptive message
breakdown of this:
assert(
loadstring(
config.get(
"LUA.LIBS.STD"
)
)
)
assert(value, error) - Returns value or throws the given error if value is nil
Evidently, since he's calling that assertion as a function, loadstring returns a function despite the name implying it should return a string. poor self-documentation invites confusion
secondly:
flame_props.= {}hello syntax error
tl;dr don't blame lua for the code's unreadability, whoever wrote it is the problem here
