Package Information

DescriptionSimple, extensible, embeddable programming language

Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. The language engine is accessible as a library, having a C API which allows the application to exchange data with Lua programs and also to extend Lua with C functions. Lua is also used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language through the simple command line interpreter provided.

This package contains the Lua command line interpreter and bytecode compiler. Install it if you are developing or using Lua scripts.
