djot/djot-lua head's up about citeproc-lua HOT 3 OPEN

Would suggest making sure, if feasible and practical, that you don't always assume a TeX backend.

Theciteproc-lua doesn't assume a TeX backend but it depends on some Lua libraries that are distributed (probably) only in CTAN and TeX distributions (luaxml, lua-uca, lua-uni-algos, etc.).

from citeproc-lua.

I had also pointed neorg (a neovim project that is inspired by emacs org-mode) to this project, since neovim has lua support, and they are planning on citation support.

Perhaps it's feasible in time to get those libraries distributed as luarocks, or to use alternate libraries that are more widely distributed, in those places?

That's great!

I'm sure if there are problems. LuaTeX uses kpse to find Lua packages in the TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which is different from standard Lua. I'll give it a try.
