	Lua programming language
		Lua is fast compared to most other bytecode interpreted scripting languages, and is suitable for writing stand-alone applications (although there are nowhere near as many libraries available as there are for Perl, Python or Tcl).
		Like Tcl, Lua was designed primarily as an extension language which could be linked into C applications and used to extend their functionality by nonprogrammers, and is partially implemented as a small library for C to achieve this goal.
		One of the interesting features of the language is that it is both a language and an API for accessing the runtime state of the language's interpreter from a host C program.

	Lua: about (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
		Lua is implemented as a small library of C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known platforms.
		Lua is designed and implemented by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

	Programming in Lua
		Lua was developed by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Waldemar Celes, and Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
		Lua is licensed under the terms of the MIT license.
		Lua is an extensible extension language which means Lua can easily embedded in C and also call program parts written in C. Full reentrancy and the parallel usage of several Lua engines is possible.

	Lua: reference manual 5.0 (alpha) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Lua manages memory automatically by running a garbage collector from time to time and collecting all dead objects (all objects that are no longer accessible from Lua).
		Because Lua is an extension language, all Lua actions start from C code in the host program calling a function from the Lua library (see Section 4.16).
		Lua provides a pre-defined table that can be used by any C code to store whatever Lua value it needs to store, especially if the C code needs to keep that Lua value outside the life span of a C function.

	Lua (programming language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lua, for instance, does not contain explicit support for inheritance, but allows it to be implemented relatively easily with metatables.
		Lua was created in 1993 by Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, and Waldemar Celes, members of the Computer Graphics Technology Group at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical University of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil.
		Lua implements a small set of advanced features such as higher-order functions, garbage collection, first-class functions, closures, proper tail calls, coercion (automatic conversion between string and number values at run time), coroutines (cooperative multitasking) and dynamic module loading.

	LUA/lua50betaref.e (htmlized)
		Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from opcodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
		Lua is implemented as a library, written in C. Being an extension language, Lua has no notion of a ``main'' program: it only works embedded in a host client, called the embedding program or simply the host.
		To have access to these libraries, the C host program must call the functions lua_baselibopen (for the basic library), lua_strlibopen (for the string library), lua_tablibopen (for the table library), lua_mathlibopen (for the mathematical library), lua_iolibopen (for the I/O and the Operating System libraries), and lua_dblibopen (for the debug library), which are declared in lualib.h.

	ONLamp.com -- Introducing Lua
		Lua is written in 99 percent ANSI C. Its main design goals are to be compact, efficient, and easy to integrate with other C/C++ programs.
		Lua uses subtle but powerful forms of syntactic sugar to allow the language to be used in a natural way in a variety of problem domains, without adding complexity (or size) to the underlying virtual machine.
		Lua uses a powerful meta table concept that among other things can bridge this final gap to object oriented programming (still without changing the underlying VM).

		Lua is becoming the language of choice for anyone who needs a scripting language that is simple, efficient, extensible, portable, and free.
		C programming is not for the faint of heart, but having a Lua interface for your C library is akin to the jackpot of embedded languages in my opinion.
		Lua dovetails beautifully with lower level languages by means of a C interface, and its drum tight language processor and libraries are right at home in event-driven graphical applications as well as console programs.

		LuaJava allows Java components to be accessed from Lua using the same syntax that is used for accessing Lua`s native objects, without any need for declarations or any kind of preprocessing.
		This way any interface can be implemented in Lua and passed as parameter to any method, and when called, the equivalent function will be called in Lua, and it′s result passed back to Java.

		There are lots of "its easy to do OO in lua" code scraps around, but searching luaforge and the wiki last night, I couldn't find any examples of them packaged up into a reusable library of class factory functions, and particularly not that use the setfenv() trick so that explicit self references aren't always required.

	wxLua - index
		With wxLua you can write programs in Lua that use the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI library to develop and deliver your software with the programming ease of an interpreted language like Lua.
		Nearly all of the functionality of wxWidgets is exposed to Lua, meaning that your programs can have windows, dialogs, menus, toolbars, controls, image loading and saving, drawing, sockets, streams, printing, clipboard access...
		learn Lua; once you've got wxLua installed and running, you need to learn how to use it: a good way to learn Lua, in case you don't already know, is to refer to the tutorial hosted in the Lua wiki.

	OSBF-Lua
		OSBF-Lua (Orthogonal Sparse Bigrams with confidence Factor) is a Lua C module for text classification.
		It is a port of the OSBF classifier implemented in the CRM114 project.
		This implementation attempts to put focus on the classification task itself by using Lua as the scripting language, a powerful yet light-weight and fast language, which makes it easier to build and test more elaborated filters and training methods.
