Cocos2d uses Lua to build games with their Cocos Code IDE. Codea is a Lua editor native to the iOS operating-system. Core uses Lua for user scripts. [5] CRYENGINE uses Lua for user scripts. [6] Custom applications for the Creative Technology Zen X-Fi2 portable media player can be created in Lua.
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 ...
LuaJIT, a just-in-time compiler of Lua 5.1. [39] [40] Luau developed by Roblox Corporation, a derivative of Lua 5.1 with gradual typing, additional features and a focus on performance. [41] Ravi, a JIT-enabled Lua 5.3 language with optional static typing. JIT is guided by type information. [42]

A single script, like the Latin alphabet, is used in many languages. Unicode is only about scripts, not about languages that use that script. Still there may be nuances, like the English ...
Almost any problem which occurs when running a Lua module will be reported as "Script error" during program execution, such as invalid data or a misspelled variable name in the Lua source code.
This help-page, Help:Lua debugging, explains issues of writing Lua script and debugging the source code, to remove errors or improve performance. Because Lua is a "semi-compiled" interpreted language, it does not prescreen for all common syntax errors, nor detect misspelled variables, which are only found at runtime when seeing the " Script ...
The string-search functions in Lua script can run extremely fast, comparing millions of characters per second. For example, a search of a 40,000-character article text, for 99 separate words (passed as 99 parameters in a template), ran within one second of Lua CPU clock time.
