This was an amazing video, I've been scripting for a year and never really got into these topics. Where would you suggest I start learning about deeper topics in lua like protos stacks etc?

Cool

love these vids, would love to see if you have any tips of freeing memory manually / optimisation? guessing garbage collector is more efficient than a self implemented clean-up system

[@summerequinox]

So garbage collection is automatic, and part of a typical interpreted scripting language. It is the reason you don't need to set all of your variables to nil after declaring them to free your own memory.
The only time you need to manually deallocate memory on Roblox is when you have declared an object (usedata) within the Instance hierarchy [Instance.new() etc...] as these objects are maintained by the Lua heap and ALSO the C/Luau exchange stack. For these objects you should always be calling :Destroy(), as the memory will persist in every other circumstance where their destructor method is not invoked.
GC isn't something you personally implement, it is part of every game on Roblox naturally and part of the variable lifecycle. When your variables go out of scope, a script ends, and other similar circumstances your memory is cleared by this system. This video is about learning how things work under the hood, and not necessarily a system you implement yourself.
Thanks for your comment!
