    Lua info, screenshots & reviewsAlternatives to 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.

    Said about Lua as an alternative

    Can do all that PHP does. Usable for all sorts of software, not just web. Super slim, the opposite of bloatware. Summary: maximum benefit, minimum burden.
