This is Lua 3.2
|
|
|
|
* What is Lua?
|
|
------------
|
|
Lua is a programming language originally designed for extending applications,
|
|
but also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language.
|
|
Lua combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with powerful
|
|
data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible
|
|
semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has
|
|
automatic memory management, making it ideal for configuration, scripting,
|
|
and rapid prototyping.
|
|
|
|
Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C,
|
|
and compiles unmodified in all known platforms. The implementation goals
|
|
are simplicity, efficiency, portability, and low embedding cost.
|
|
|
|
Lua was awarded the first prize (technological category) in the Second Compaq
|
|
Award for Research and Development in Computer Science in 1997. This award
|
|
is a joint venture of Compaq Computer in Brazil, the Brazilian Ministry of
|
|
Science and Technology, and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
|
|
