lichtgewicht programmeertaal
Lua is a lightweight programming language designed to be embedded within other applications, offering a simple way for software developers to add scripting capabilities to their programs. Because its interpreter is written in standard C code, Lua runs on many different platforms and provides an easy interface for developers to integrate it into their applications.

Lua (LOE-ah, maan in het Portugees) is een dynamisch getypeerde imperatieve scripttaal die veel als geïntegreerde scripttaal in applicaties gebruikt wordt, maar ook los gebruikt kan worden. De scripts worden uitgevoerd op een virtuele machine met garbage collection. De taal heeft een eenvoudige syntaxis met enkele primitieve types (zoals booleans, en strings) en tabellen, in essentie associatieve arrays, waarmee de bekende datastructuren zoals arrays, lijsten en hashmaps geconstrueerd kunnen worden. De taal is ontwikkeld door Roberto Ierusalimschy, Waldemar Celes en Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo aan de te Rio de Janeiro, Brazilië. De versies tot versie 5.0 zijn uitgebracht onder een licentie die vergelijkbaar is met de BSD-licentie. Vanaf versie 5.0 is Lua uitgebracht onder de MIT-licentie.
