  The Lua Pragramming Language: It’s Cool
  ----------------------------------------

  Lua is a remarkably expressive programming language, given its strong focus
  on simplicity. Although not widely used, it was come into its own as a
  scripting language within applications, especially games. Its straight-forward
  C API makes it easy to embed within software written in other languages, and
  its small size and fast virtual machine make it an appropriate choice for
  performance-critical applications.
