Re: Question about LuaInterface 2.0

[gary ng <garyng2000@...>]

I can confirm that luainterface 1.5.3 can do it like this :

.NET host app -> Lua VM -> access other .NET assembly

The Lua VM in this case can also use standard lua C modules like luasocket or my lxyssl bindings etc.

Too bad the maintainer made the decision of managed code making the >= 2.0 VM kind of almost useless as a number of key modules like lpeg cannot be use.
