RE: gremlin in Lua

[Jak Sprats <jaksprats@...>]

Thanks Robert & Xavier,

I did not think the exact gremlin's exact syntax was possible in Lua, so thanks for confirming that.

I will probably do something like "g:v(1):out('knows'):filter [[age < 30]]", seems very Lua-esque and not too far from Gremlin.

These gremlin calls may be made repetitively, so I may also try to be smart and turn [[age<30]] into a real function for repetitive calls

thanks,
