I thought Lua was already a toy programming language?
- JadeNB 11y agoThis seems to add nothing to the discussion. I downvoted it.
- vvanders 11y agoFar from it, it makes for a fantastic scripting language that is incredibly extensible and works well in a lot of embedded spaces.
- trynumber9 11y agoYou must not have looked beyond the Pascal-inspired syntax. There is a whole host of features that many popular languages do not have, while being many times smaller and amiable to embedding. Ephemeron tables, generational GC, coroutines, tail call elimination, operator overloading, lexical scoping.
