Re: LuaCheia Mailing List Summary

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

Well, I think there is a little bit more (or actually, less :) to that.

What we're about to offer with LuaCheia is a highly modularized 
approach, where each module can be presented as either:
	a) external (dynamic) library (.dll/.so)
	b) external lua code base (.lua/.luc)
	c) internal (statically linked) library (.a/.lib)

The applications using these libraries will not (need to) know where 
and how they are linked. This allows e.g. to do prototyping in Lua, 
then optimize parts of the library in C.

Also, I think our target group is more in the world of embedded 
programming / engineering than in the 'Unix & Internet gluing' where 
Perl and Python have traditionally been strong. I don't think we're 
even out there to compete with them - there's no need.
