Lua (/ˈluːə/ LOO-ə from Portuguese: lua [ˈlu.(w)ɐ] meaning moon; explicitly not LUA) is a lightweight multi-paradigm programming language designed as a scripting language with extensible semantics as a primary goal. Lua is cross-platform since it is written in ANSI C. Lua has a relatively simple C API.
