#Torch7
lol, my brain immediately thought you were talking about a low level pytorch component (inductor), and thought you were playing with lua because that's what super old school torch was implemented in and maybe it was making a comeback in the pytorch codebase or something.

Boa pergunta, eu sei que tem bastante material livre de Lua para Data Science nos materiais do Torch7, mas como é algo mais antigo teria que caçar...

I can’t help but look at the number of commits on the torch7 GitHub repo (1337) and think that it was a deliberate choice to stop development of it at that: github.com/torch/torch7
