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
|
|
|
|
Lua now uses a bestline REPL with bash-style code completion.
|
|
|
|
Integer literals such as `033` will now be interpreted as octal.
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
Added luaL_traceback2() for function parameters in traceback.
