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 -) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

lua <-> neko was already discussed on the lua list. :-) The thread starts at http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-09/msg00598.html Best Martin
