Lua is a compact and extensible programming language that was originally designed to expand applications, but is often used as a common stand-alone language. Based on associative arrays and extensible semantics, it combines powerful data description constructs with simple program syntax (similar to Pascal).
Lua is written by standard C and can be compiled and run almost on all operating systems and platforms. LUA does not provide a powerful library, which is determined by its positioning. So Lua is not a suitable language for developing stand-alone applications. Lua has a simultaneous JIT project that provides just-in-time compilation capabilities on specific platforms.
Lua 5.1.5 This version is a bug-correcting version. 5.1.4 All known errors have been fixed.
