Hi,
 
I downloaded the code but don't know how to use it. Sorry. I could not compile the code successfully under Windows.
 
If numlua can deliver matlab or fortran like matrix manipulation syntax, it definitely rules.

I beg to differ:

It's not as maintained as I'd wanted it to be, but it's fairly usable.

Definitely.
