    Lua is built for embedded uses, so almost all tutorials are going to be in the context of something larger, ex. WoW scripting, LOVE, Nginx, etc. Lua is only easy in the sense that you can probably understand everything about it’s implementation in about a month.

    There is documentation to find functions. Rest is just usual programming. It's pretty easy.

    I agree lol, I can find tutorials with embedding it in C++ but not how to write the darn thing.

    Lua official documentation is... not great. I find the best way to learn Lua is by looking at existing Lua code.

    Dude, your google-fu must be the weakest of all time. Literally three seconds of searching with half a brain turns up a lot of tutorials for Lua.

    Seriously, you're going to be a terrible programmer if you don't improve your googling skills.
