Python is written by the Dutch. Ruby is written by the Japanese. Lua is written by the Brazilian. I can only be here.
Lua is one of the highest average efficiency in all dynamic languages. It was originally existed in the form of library, purely just an extension of C / C . Not only the interpreter is developed, but also developed a compiler. LUA in the game development is the most widely used scripting language. When the world's first LUA book is listed, a reader commented: "Lua IS A Real Gem."
Lua is great, Lua is the Brazilian invented, which makes me uncomfortable, but it is not blushing, the most eye-catching.
Let me blush is Lua source code, one hundred percent ANSI C, not doping at all. It can be easily compiled on any platform that supports the ANSI C compiler. I tried it, it is really a nonsense.
I learned C, I ran to the Win32 API in 1997, and later I c , STL, Java ... until 2002, I saw C interfaces and Implementations, I only know that only ANSI C can achieve a powerful beauty Library, until 2004, I saw that Lua's source code learns only ANSI C to implement a very fast virtual machine, great interpreter / compiler, and very beautiful language implementation.
What did I do this 8 years?
