Neovim text editor offers Lua functionality as a replacement for Vimscript as a scripting language, both for plugin development and for user configuration. [18] NetBSD has a Lua driver that can create and control Lua states inside the kernel. This allows Lua to be used for packet filtering and creating device drivers. [19] [20] [21]
Lua (/ ˈ l uː ə / LOO-ə; from Portuguese: lua meaning moon) is a lightweight, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed mainly for embedded use in applications. [3] Lua is cross-platform software, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, [4] and Lua has a relatively simple C application programming ...
Here are some short points about Lua, for those who already know other computer programming languages and how to program. They focus mainly upon what you might find different in Lua. Lua is dynamically typed. There's no static typing at all.
In electronics, a hardware description language (HDL) is a specialized computer language used to describe the structure, design, and operation of electronic circuits, and most commonly, digital logic circuits. The two most widely used and well-supported HDL varieties used in industry are Verilog and VHDL. Hardware description languages include:
Lua patterns deliberately lack the most complex regular expression constructs (to avoid bloating the Lua code base), where many other computer languages or libraries use a more complete set. Lua patterns are not even a subset of regular expressions, as there are also discrepancies, like Lua using the escape character % instead of \, , and ...

This program creates a Lua state, passes the Lua state to IUPLua for initialization, and then opens and executes a Lua script against the Lua state. Or, the entire IUP state can be dynamically loaded via use of a Lua require or package.loadlib of IUPLua. The script(s) can later be compiled with the Lua compiler if needed.
