Lua Wiki's Wish List.

["Frank Meier-Doernberg" <frank@...>]

Hi folks,

I want to support the "LuaNumeric" Idea stated in the Wiki at
http://lua-users.org/wiki/WishList.
But -shame on me- for the next time only by words ;-).

And I'am courios:
What kind of "numeric-scripting-elegance" is reachable in Lua ?
Based on a library like uBLAS ( http://www.boost.org/libs/numeric/ublas )
could there a way to a number crunching Lua ?

All profitable discussions are welcome.

--Frank

P.S.
Has somebody faced the script language "SQUIRREL"
(http://squirrel.sourceforge.net/) ?
Citation:
"Squirrel is inspired by languages like Python,Javascript and expecially LUA
(The API is very similar and the table code is based on the LUA one)".
IMHO many of the sematic issues discussed here are handled by Squirrel,
maybe another good source of inspiration ;-)
