I just looked and it looks like someone has already taken lua.

I didn't even know someone else had a lua library. Looks like that's bindings for Lua 5.3, and the repository is even named rust-lua53, so I'm rather surprised they claimed the generic name "lua" instead of, say, lua53.

Also, their build steps require exporting an environment variable and running a prebuild.sh script, so I'd have to assume you can't even successfully use their crate as a dependency. Why would they bother publishing to the repo for that?

My guess is that they wanted to hold the name. It seems there's been a lot of that recently (lots of 0.0.1 packages and whatnot).

I personally think rust-lua is way ahead of that package in terms of safety, examples and tests.
