Lua is a dynamically-typed scripting language offering object-oriented capabilities, designed for extending applications.
Metalua improves the Lua system by adding meta-programming features via an improved compiler.
This is achieved by adding support for macros, and a set of language extensions without altering the core Lua language syntax.
Basically, Metalua makes Lua work a little bit more closely to the way Lisp works.
Features:
- Macros
- Syntax extensibility
- Dynamic parsers
- Near-universal portability
What is new in this release:
- This release is included in Lua for Windows, so now it couldn't get simpler for MS-Windows users.
- Metalua is written in pure Lua again, thus making it platform-independant. No more mandatory C libraries. Pluto interface might be back, as an option, in a future version, but it's not worth the install trouble involved by DLL dependencies.
- Simpler build process, just run make.sh or make.bat depending on your OS.
- Metalua libraries are now in a separate metalua/* package.
Requirements:
- Lua 5.1 or higher
