What is Lua?
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

Its awesome for embedding!
My favorite language!
Cuz it reminds me of ruby quite a bit.. 🤓
If it only had utf-8 built in...
Do we have to manually implement it?
