> we love Lua and its approachable and easy to pick up nature

I keep seeing Lua popup in random places, like home automation or this game. I've never really looked at it into details, what makes one chose Lua over something more standard?



Gluing lua onto things is about as easy as it gets:

* Define your functions * Define your lua binding * load lua code * run it. * Profit.

Only takes ~10 minutes to do: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5127294


It is more or less standard for game scripting because it's easy to embed.
