Redbean Lua Server Pages may now be stored in the zip as byte code. This can improve performance, since redbean currently doesn't cache byte code but it might be more useful for anyone wanting to create a closed source redbean. The .lua extension should be used for byte code files. Lua will tell them apart based on a magic number at the start of the file. This change also improves some Lua error reporting conditions.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Lua is a language designed for embedded use in native applications. It
|
|
has an impossibly elegant C API and the Lua language itself feels more
|
|
like Python compared to alternatives like Tcl except it's a great deal
|
|
faster and doesn't have strong opinions about character encoding.

LOCAL MODIFICATIONS
|
|
|
|
The `\e` string literal escape sequence has been added, which is
|
|
equivalent to `\27` (the Lua version of `\033`) or the ASCII ESC
|
|
character. It may be used for teletypewriter control like having
|
|
bold text, which can be encoded elegantly as `\e[1mHELLO\e[0m`.
