N U A - L A N G

A Production ready implementation of the Lua C Librairy

Nua is a language with the following goals:

• Virtual Machine

  • C VM transpiled to node.js for web-commitment
  • Small but compact byte-code interpreter (similar to LuaJIT - Joff)
  • Much more speed than the Lua-C

• Syntax

  • Using couroutines
  • Lightweight fibers
  • nil value

• Api

  • Js-api similar to the LuaC-api
  • Useful rest-api

  Sounds great? So get started. You even can try it out in your Browser.
