README
Lua on Parrot ============= This is the port of the language Lua 5.1 (http://www.lua.org/) on the Parrot VM (http://www.parrot.org/). Many external libraries are available on http://github.com/fperrad/lua-batteries. Suffice it to say that Lua is an elegant, easy-to-learn language with a mostly procedural syntax, featuring automatic memory management, full lexical scoping, closures, iterators, coroutines, proper tail calls, and extremely practical data-handling using associative arrays. (A. Hirschi 2007)
