About Lua

Lua is a small, fast and dependable scripting language created in Brazil in 1993. It is dynamic and multi-paradigm, and is especially popular for extending and customizing host applications. Thanks to its small footprint and a simple C API, Lua is easy to embed in game engines, network equipment and IoT devices.

Lua’s strengths lie in its flexibility: metatables and coroutines let you implement advanced behaviors and control flows without complexity. It’s a compact yet powerful language commonly used in game development and configuration.

If you need a language that’s easy to learn, quick to run and simple to integrate, Lua is a strong choice.
