Hmmm... I mean the search function in the wiki should perhaps be more 
visible:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/FindPage

Regarding Lua's fat or lack of, I sometime feel that Lua tries to be 
too clever by half (e.g. list as table) :P
That said, I do feel that there is a bit too much syntactical 
(synthetical?) sugar...
print "hello" vs print( "hello" ) would at first glance look like a 
pointless and confusing deviation from the norm.
YMMV.

Cheers
