Re: Features *I* would like to see

Are you talking about the networking/multithreading/etc. thingys 
mentioned before?

If so, then, well... That would defeat the purpose of Lua being small, 
and it will get bloated like the .NET Framework did. :-/

I don't use Lua as a primary language, I have C/C++ for that (yes, I am 
a masochist), I use it as a scripting language for games and it's 
meeting my needs so far.

Go Lua! :-D
