Some questions about lua && context

Some questions about lua && context

[Aleksandar Lazic]

Hi,

today I have looked into luatex and read the FAQ
http://www.luatex.org/faq.html

Just for my curiosity, have you looked into neko?!

http://www.nekovm.org/

I don't know when you have decide to go to lua and if then neko was out.

Thanks to satisfied my curiosity ;- )

Aleks

the choice for lua was made purely on my experience with perl, ruby and ... lua (embedded into skype) 

one big advantage of lua is that it has a long history, has reached a point of stability, is developped in an academic atmosphere, is rather clean, very lightweight, etc 

anyhow, the decision has been made (after the decision already several alternatives have been proposed -)
