Whatever we call it, the one thing that we can rely on is that
Roberto and Luiz [1] cannot be swayed by specious cant.
In the time I've been a Lua user [2], they have only once [3]
made a change I did not approve of, and even that was not
a language change.

[1] I leave Waldemar out because (sensible fellow) he is not
active on the list.
[2] Going on six years, I think.

my ancient Casio school calculator.
