Since when is Lua an appendage of C++? :-)

Chill, dude. He's 17. You're supposed to encourage him, not 
deliver thunderous sermons. You're also making assumptions and 
characterizations which I think is quite unfair to Nathaniel. Let 
kids be kids and have fun with stuff.

In any case, I don't think he's using C++ on AVR. I'm a PIC user, 
but AFAIK, WinAVR and stuff like that mostly use gcc as a 
cross-compiler and are all in C.
