I have to implement some asynchronous socket content loading within the context of a

I'm working that isn't an option (Lua script execution is 'secondary' to the main application).

I was looking at LuaLanes and LuaTask as my two principle choices, but neither one seems
to have much activity and/or documentation around them so I'm just wondering if I should
be looking at something else or if these projects are just 'complete' and as such no activity

is warranted.

Opinions welcome.

Thanks,

There is a better way to build embedded user interfaces

I "evaluated" (actually skimmed through their documentation) the, at that time (2009) available options and chose LuaLanes. It was the only one cross platform and definite mention of the ability to kill a thread. Have to admit I only launch threads and await their results in my application (no inter process communication). Lanes hasn't disappointed me (to make a safe statement).
