Welcome to Lua 5.5

About Lua

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language developed by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Lua is free software used in many products and projects around the world.

Lua’s official website provides complete information about Lua, including an executive summary, tips on getting started, and updated documentation, especially the reference manual, which may differ slightly from the local copy distributed in this package.
