Dave Lucia is CTO and Co-Founder of TV Labs, an AI-powered platform provides real-time access to physical devices enabling streaming services to develop, identify defects and measure performance across the TVs and screens found in your living room, car, plane seat and even on your treadmill. Prior to T V Labs, Dave has brought the power of the BEAM to three other companies, Milk Road, Simplebet, and The Outline. He is an active member of the BEAM ecosystem, speaking at Code BEAM, Elixir Conf, RabbitMQ summit, The Big Elixir, and O11yfest, and is an active contributor to many OSS projects.
Luerl is an implementation of the Lua parser, compiler, and runtime, written in pure Erlang. It allows Lua programs to be executed on the BEAM in a fully sandboxed environment, while allowing integrators to expose Erlang and Elixir functions directly to Lua programs.
In this talk, Robert Virding will give an overview of Lua and the Luerl implementation discussing some of the issues which arise and how they are solved and the added power they can give. We will cover a brief history of Lua, what makes Luerl unique, and how it executes Lua code.
To demonstrate how Luerl can be used in real products, Dave Lucia will showcase how his company, TV Labs, uses Lua to provide a customer-facing scripting interface for testing Smart TV applications. Using TV Labs, Dave will spin up a physical television in his web browser, navigate through a Smart TV app, take screenshots, and perform computer vision tasks, all within the Lua environment.
