Dozens of industrial products developed by TeCGraf use Lua.
* Some features of Lua
- + a simple, pascal-like, syntax
- + powerful data description constructs (e.g., associative arrays)
- + user-controlled type constructors
- + fallbacks for extending the language in unconventional ways (e.g.,
- inheritance, overloading)
- + garbage collection
- + Lua programs are compiled into bytecodes, which are then interpreted
- + portable, written in ANSI C (runs in Unix, DOS, Windows, Mac, Cray, ...)
+ + simple syntax (Pascal-like);
+ + powerful data description constructs (e.g., associative arrays);
+ + user-controlled type constructors;
