Pluto is a unique dialect of Lua, which aims to specialize for general-purpose programming.

Why should you choose Pluto?

• Accelerated Development.

  • Greatly enhanced standard library.
  • Dozens of additional VM & compile-time optimizations.
  • Several new syntaxes, such as switch statements or ternary expressions.

• Drag & Drop Compatibility.

  • Compatible with Lua 5.4 source & bytecode.
  • The only Lua dialect that's proven it can be dropped into massive communities (100K> users), and not break any existing scripts.
