🌙 Lua 5.1.5 — Educational Fork

This repository is a readable fork of Lua v5.1.5 aimed at learning and exploration. It preserves original behavior while making the codebase easier to follow for studying language internals.

Goals

• Cleaned comments and small readability-driven refactors (no behavioral changes).
• Focused on teaching: easier to trace VM loop, API and garbage collector.
• Useful for building a minimal Lua for embedded or learning environments.

Quickstart

Build

# build the lua executable
make -j $(nproc)

Test

make -C tests
