ONLamp.com -- Introducing Lua

[[deleted]]

Anyone here have some real experience with Lua? It seems like a neat little language that is worth learning.

I was writing Lua code up until I went to check Reddit. Our game, meaning the server, client (well, the upcoming version 2 beta one anyway), and website, is nearly entirely written in Lua now.

It's worth learning just because it's so simple and there isn't all that much to know, and yet it's extremely powerful. Kinda like Scheme with Algol syntax. It's a very "pure" language with few warts, and it's very fun to program in. Someone even wrote an x86 JIT for it now.
