should look like C++ ;)
But I find it _useful_ that Lua does not look like C/C++; it makes me
load the necessary mental modules.
It is possible to make Lua look like a C-style bracket language. But
then that mental shift is harder. Worse, you might think you were
working in _javascript_ and have some very weird surprises!
Actually, as long as you're familiar with them, you won't misuse them. _javascript_ and C have plenty differences to distinguish conveniently. At least, the operators of those several popular language: c, c++, java, php, python, js, ... are the same. Most of the operators in lua is also the same as those, only the '~=' is an abrupt symbol.
