Lua on Parrot

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)
