General Development "Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Coupled with it being relatively fast and having a very lenient license, it has gained a following among game developers for providing a viable scripting interface. It has been used in games such as World of Warcraft and Far Cry, and in applications such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Snort."

The first public beta of LuaTeX has been released...

TeX was already very powerful but this integration with Lua brings a whole new world of possibilities...

I can't wait for the Pgf/Tikz guys to implement their mathematical engine in Lua and to code 3D libraries...

Eventually, I'll port my xml parser and my japanese library from TeX to Lua...to speed things up a bit...
