Pcall is a protected call. Not exceptions, yes its similar but not the same thing.

And yes embedded applications was what it was designed for but that doesn't mean it can not includes some useful features that many other languages have.

Pcall?

Um, isn’t “embedding applications” what Lua is designed for? (And I know of some very real world applications, that are much more than “embedding applications”, in Lua that work quite well without classes.)
