I am a member of DANTE e.V. - the German language TeX users group. Actually I am not only a member, but also on the board. I am also a tex.stackexchange representative at TUG.

During my spare time I am running a small company that uses LuaTeX in its main product (www.speedata.de, http://speedata.github.io/publisher/ - the source code).

And when I am bored, I update my german LuaTeX blog.

comment Looking for an “easy to understand” description of the tfm file format
@egreg The two PDFs (pltotf and tftopl) are the ones I am using already - I didn't know about Fuchs' article, but it is not quite what I am looking for - I am looking for something similar to this PNG description (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Network_Graphics)

comment Looking for an “easy to understand” description of the tfm file format
Actually I have written a TFM parser in Ruby loong time ago (github.com/pgundlach/rfil/blob/master/lib/tex/tfm.rb) - but still I'd like to know if there is some nice description of it somewhere.

comment Can TeX generate “heap dumps” to analyze+optimize out-of-memory situations?
@BrunoLeFloch I have received his message, but I was too eager writing my comment. I have thought about a LuaTeX solution but gave up at one point.

I have to take back that os.exec() is perfect for the task. As @michal.h21 points out, io.popen() gets the input.

comment Draw an aircraft with Tikz
The question has received quite some downvotes. We should explain the OP (@physics) why we think that this question is "bad": Drawing such a complex graphics with tikz is a tedious job and it might be done much easier with the right tool. Since we don't know what the purpose is to do that with tikz, nobody will of course spend an hour or two drawing that airplane in tikz. If you (the OP) already have say 90% of the code, our job would easier and we know where the difficulty is.
