What is Pluto?

Pluto is a superset of Lua 5.4 designed for general-purpose programming. While being remarkably compatible with Lua 5.4 source-code & bytecode, it enhances the standard library & adds more than a dozen highly-desired syntaxes such as switch statements, compound operators, classes, class inheritance, string interpolation, type hinting, enums, and so on.

  • New Syntax: Pluto implements various popular syntaxes that are absent in Lua.
  • Optimizations: Pluto is slightly faster than Lua, but in some instances by a pretty large margin.
  • Larger Standard Library: Pluto aims to meet the standard library of Python, and is slowly encroaching this goal.
