In the last days, Lua (on Parrot) made a big step :

- all constructs (statements & functions) of the core language are supported
- lexical scoping
- closures & iterators are supported
- a large subset of the standard libraries is implemented
- coroutines support via a library (not yet working)
- more than 300 tests

This implementation (like ParTcl) proves the power and versatility of Parrot.

The next big step is the support of Object-Oriented Programming model.

All informations about Lua (the original) are available on www.lua.org.
