Lua

Lua interactive shell built using Native Client

What is Lua?

"Lua" is a unique Chrome extension based on Lua 5.2.2, designed to work as a proof of concept of Lua running in Native Client. Offering regular updates and patches, this extension allows users to explore the functionalities of the highly efficient scripting language, Lua, in an interactive shell. However, it comes with certain limitations including the lack of support for DSOs and a persistent file system due to its build with newlib.

Love it, works perfectly. 1 Problem though, the lua version is outdated. Please update this to the latest version of lua. I'd be very grateful if you do.
