# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| lua: lua (fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language) lua: lua: Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description lua: constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua lua: is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register- lua: based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with lua: incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, lua: scripting, and rapid prototyping. lua: lua: Homepage: http://www.lua.org lua:
