Generating Lua Bytecode

[beo wulf <beowulf@...>]

Hi!

  Is there a good tutorial on generating lua bytecode? I.e. I like
lua's VM & lua's C-api -- but I don't like lua syntax too much.
Instead of writing a lua program to interpret my language, I'd prefer
to compile my language directly down to the lua vm. Thus, is there a
good lua tutorial?

Thanks!
