I would say at this point that I have arrived at the C definition of true and false. ;)

As for keeping the Boolean type, good question, but not something I have thought seriously about yet at this point in time.

Most of the hacking I am currently doing is for the learning experience, to learn how the lua VM works, and to have fun creating a scripting language that has the features I would like with the features of Lua that make it a great language as well.

I got my start in Lua back in my WoW days, and now instead of writing AddOns I am writing a new language, which is infinitely more fun and exciting! ;)
