Re: Getting lua to travel on .NET and the like

[Timothy Baldridge <tbaldridge@...>]

Because several frameworks like XNA and Silverlight only allow 100%
managed code. I think the C++ to CLR compilation would make the use of
unmanager pointers wouldn't it?

But using the Java version sounds good. I just glanced at the code,
and it doesn't look that hard to translate. The two languages are very
similar in syntax.
