Lua (Template:IPAc-en LOO-ə; from Portuguese: lua meaning moon) is a lightweight, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed mainly for embedded use in applications.[1]

Lua is cross-platform software, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C,[2] and Lua has a relatively simple C application programming interface (API) to embed it into applications.[3]
