Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the release of a portable binding to the Lua
5.0 programming api. Lua allows software developers to provide tailored
scripting and extension facilities in their applications with a simple
yet powerful programming API at virtually no cost (Lua is licensed under
the terms of the MIT license). Now Ada 95 developers on a wide range of
platforms can utilise Lua in their applications under the same terms as
the Lua software (yes, that's right! It is licensed under the MIT
license too).
A few days ago a highly experimental and featureless version of the
binding was released, but with todays release (version 0.1) the binding
includes most of the functionality of the C programmers API.
Notable exceptions are the debugging API and the operations on "user
data" as defined by Lua. These are pencilled in for 0.3/0.5 (hopefully
soon).
This release includes:
- bindings to substantial portion of the api
- two example programs adapted from the lua book
1. a simple command line interpreter
2. an example of using lua for configuring applications
- a first attempt at a user manual
Future releases will include:
- binding to the debugging api
- "user data" facilities
- binding to libaux facilities
- example utilising Lua & AdaOpenGL
- better documentation
The binding can be found at

bug reports, patches, advice and suggestions!
Enjoy!
