Lua is a small scripting language. It is a research group at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Rio de Janeiro, developed in 1993 by Robert Ierusalimschy, Waldemar Celes, and Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo. It is designed to embed an application and provide flexible scalability and customization for the application. Lua is compiled by Standard C and can be compiled and run on almost all operating systems and platforms. Lua does not provide a powerful Library, which is determined by its positioning. Therefore, Lua is not suitable for developing independent applications. Lua has a simultaneous JIT project that provides real-time compilation on a specific platform. Click here to download
