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: > Circle is a new programming language that extends C++ 17 to support data-driven imperative metaprogramming. Circle combines the immediacy and flexibility of a scripting language with the type system, performance and universality of C++. Three new features make this a more effective programming tool than Standard C++:
