Lua

Programming Languages

Lua is a lightweight, high-level scripting language designed for embedding into applications, known for its simple syntax and small footprint. It is widely used in video game development (e.g., World of Warcraft addons, Roblox, and many game engines) as well as in embedded systems and applications like Adobe Photoshop and Nginx configuration. Its speed and easy C integration make it popular for extending larger software with custom scripting logic.
