Bug#110435: RFP: Lua -- The Lua Programming Language

[davidw@apache.org (David N. Welton)]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

>From the web page:

        Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed
        for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a
        general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua is free software.

        Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data
        description constructs based on associative arrays and
        extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted
        from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with
        garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration,
        scripting, and rapid prototyping.
