As Lua was intended to be a general embeddable extension language, the designers of Lua focused on improving its speed, portability, extensibility, and ease-of-use in development. It provided the basic facilities of most procedural programming languages, but more complicated or domain-specific features were not included rather, it included mechanisms for extending the language, allowing programmers to implement such features. Lua originated in 1993 as a language for extending software applications to meet the increasing demand for customization at the time. Lua is cross-platform, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, and Lua has a relatively simple C API to embed it into applications. Lua ( / ˈ l uː ə/ LOO-ə from Portuguese: lua meaning moon) is a lightweight, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed primarily for embedded use in applications.
