* Package name : lua-metalua Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Fabien Feutot <[email protected]> * URL : http://metalua.luaforge.net/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: Lua Description : Metaprogramming language designed as a superset of Lua Metalua is a metaprogramming language and a compiler which provide full compatibility with Lua 5.1 sources and bytecode. It offers a complete macro system similar in power to that offered by Lisp dialects or Template Haskell. Namely, manipulated programs can be seen as source code, abstract syntax trees, or an arbitrary mix thereof-- whichever suits your task better. It has a dynamically extensible parser, which lets you support your macros with a syntax that blends nicely with the rest of the language. A set of language extensions is also provided, all implemented as regular Metalua macros. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
