Re: Is "scripting" truly Lua's future?

I agree with much of what has been said here, but:

IMO, even this is too much for the standard Lua package.  The means of 
generating Lua bindings for libraries vary significantly depending on 
the libraries.  Factors include the library's target language (C or 
C++), API style (e.g. OO or not), and conventions with regard to memory 
allocation and object ownership.  I believe it's best for the Lua team 
to defer to third-party packages for automated generation of Lua 
bindings, as they have done thus far.
