-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 with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration,
-scripting, and rapid prototyping.
-
-A fundamental concept in the design of Lua is to provide meta-mechanisms for
-implementing features, instead of providing a host of features directly in
-the language. For example, although Lua is not a pure object-oriented
-language, it does provide meta-mechanisms for implementing classes and
-inheritance. Lua's meta-mechanisms bring an economy of concepts and keep the
-language small, while allowing the semantics to be extended in unconventional
-ways. Extensible semantics is a distinguishing feature of Lua.
-
-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.
