Lua Languages Programming
Lua Languages Programming
Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications, and often used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. It is free software.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. It is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
