Lua

There are a lot of programming languages floating around but only a small percentage are in active use. Here's a programming language I hadn't heard of before that appears to have a growing user community. It's called Lua. The main aim with Lua is easy extensibility.
Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language
The language core is implemented in standard C and has been ported to lots of platforms. There's a draft of a book on Lua. I'm going to add Lua to the (growing) list of languages I want to try out.
