Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.
|
|
|
|
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description
|
|
constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is
|
|
dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based
|
|
virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental
|
|
garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and
|
|
rapid prototyping.
|
|
|
|
This version of Lua isn't the most recent version but it's still widely
|
|
used, due to popularity of LuaJIT 2.0 which is compatible with Lua 5.1.
