<p>Lua is a fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
</p><p>Common uses of Lua are:
</p>
<ul><li> A configuration language for applications.</li>
<li> A standalone scripting language.</li>
<li> An embedded language in applications to modify runtime behaviour.</li></ul>
<p>To get introduced into Lua, please read <a href="/wiki/The_briefest_introduction_to_Lua" title="The briefest introduction to Lua"> the briefest introduction to Lua</a>. For deeper knowledge please read this <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaTutorial">tutorial</a> for the newcomers to the language.
