Re: How to support '//' as lua's one line comment identifier?

[Tang Daogang <daogangtang@...>]

For habits only.

My programmers generally comes  from c, c++, java, js communities, they feel hard to be used to use lua's '~=', which looks very strange to them, and to us.

Also, the '--' is the same strange to us. Maybe we will be used to it one day. But we like to modify lua now, :-)

PS: We are web programmers, need to switch frequently in js, c, java, and lua.

Thanks for your care.

For what purpose? You can convert Lua to _javascript_ using llvm,  if
you so desire.
