About

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping."[1]

gollark: Assembly means you need to meddle with a bunch of stuff which is outside the concerns of the actual application, python means you can basically just write pseudocode.
gollark: That would probably be easier in C or Python than Assembly.
gollark: Which, for my stuff, is *mostly* me.
gollark: It's closer to actual user needs.
gollark: You know, in Minecraft chat or IRC, that would line up.
