Speaking of which (or may be not ;-)) is there anybody using Lua
on Plan9?

Thanks,
Roman.

P.S. The more I look into Lua (as a way to help C refuge start
doing some functional stuff) the more it seems that the two have
a lot in common when it comes to software architecture.


Last time I tried, the standard Lua compiled out of the box under the APE.

Great little language. I use it in my day job (together with Erlang). It's implementation is indeed just as enlightening as the Plan 9 code. An exercise in doing exactly what is required and no more. Very elegant in my eyes.
