Er, what does "stuck in 1995" mean, exactly, for documentation? The Lua reference manual is, I think, a pretty good reference manual. It's quite complete, well-indexed, and reasonably well organized. If you're simply annoyed by having to page through the index to look for a function, you can try the search-based version of the reference manual, at http://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/about http://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/about The reference manual is, however, a reference manual, and doesn't have much in the way of a high-level overview of various features, or examples. For those things, PiL ("Programming in Lua") is a much better resource. The latest version of PiL is a real you-gotta-pay-money book, but a slightly older version is available online. For both info about the book, and the online version, see http://www.lua.org/pil/ http://www.lua.org/pil/
