# 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 ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| lua: lua (lightweight programming language for extending applications) lua: lua: Lua is a powerful, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. lua: It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, lua: functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description. 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 with a lua: register-based virtual machine, making it ideal for configuration, lua: scripting, and rapid prototyping. lua: Homepage: https://www.lua.org/
