Has anyone seen the lua language? What brought my attention to it was that
it had been released for PalmOS and is quite small and designed to be
embeded in a parent application or embeded environment. The PalmOS version
is about 100k. The source is under a BSD type of license (I think) and can
be compiled under Linux and Windows and enything else you care to port it
too. It is pure ANSI C.
I noticed that tomsrtbt disk has been using it for a while. It seems to be
a healthy cross between Perl, C and Pascal. It does not have some of the
power or Perl, but it is still an fine language.
Would there be scope for it in LEAF? Would it be a suitable replacement
for some shell scripts. tomsrtbt disk seems to be using it in scripts to
replace all manner of tools in order to fit more on a single floppy.
I will make an lrp package out of it and place it somewhere on LEAF.
Where is a good location for this? I have a Sourceforge account, does this
imply I have a page or ftp area?
Dale.
