Two months ago, I was looking for small scripting language to replace a bunch of microperl scripts (Limited and ugly version of Perl). Now we have CLI, configuration wizards and init-scripts of our network devices rewritten in Lua. Asterisk AGI scripts will be rewritten soon. Two most important things about Lua are: 1) The code is much cleaner and flexible than microperl 2) Lua interpreter is significantly smaller than microperl (220 kb vs. 900 kb). This is very important for us because we're limited to ~5MB filesystem. For occasional programmer (like me) learning Lua takes ~2 weeks. // Dmitry Ivanov.

Lua is the Best thing for some jobs! And it's cool to find such site on the web which helps you a lot. Thanks -- Anonymous

This is the highest quality Wiki I've visited so far. Too bad Wikis aren't suited for all communities. -- Thiago Bastos

This is a very good wiki indeed. Great job :-) /Erik

I also think this is a good wiki/ Danaj

Suggestion: I often come to LuaAddons to check what's new. However it is hard to see quickly what has been updated on this page. Perhaps we should have a header on this page to show a summary of what has been added or updated?" sam_lie

Go to the page history and follow the diff link from the last version that you saw.

Nice wiki! /Zigmar

This wiki definitely needs some updating given the huge amount of material only relevant in older versions of Lua. --anonymous

We have since been heavily updating this. In particular, Lua 4 content is now being explicitly marked with a VersionNotice.

More types of syntax coloring could be added: C/C++ and Lua interactive mode (e.g. snippets in the LuaTutorial). At times, e.g. when updating LuaNews, I want to link to a recent mail list posting (LuaList:...) but that posting is not yet indexed. --DavidManura

All I can say is that this is the WORST formatted and organized Wiki I have ever seen. It's a real shame. --NateW

Hello Nate, I've had some complaints about the wiki structure myself when first stating to use it (see WikiStructure). Could you provide more specifics so we know what angle you are coming from?

...this is an excellent site. -- Shoaib Meenai
