I've been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

I'm surprised to hear you say this because in all honesty, pip really sucks as far as package managers go. uv is a worthy replacement.

Compared to luarocks, pip is amazing.

Maybe so, but pip is years behind package managers like cargo. It really is not particularly good.

Sure, and Luarocks is behind pip, and it really is particularly bad.
