Thanks for the replies. So many, and so quickly!
I should have figured this out myself, as Scheme and ML both arrange things
the same way; I didn't immediately understand the nature of blocks during my
quick scan of the manual. As a proponent of functional programming, one of
the features that makes me consider lua is first-class functions, though I
might miss built-in lists (yes, I know I can simulate them with hash tables).
What else will likely be familiar to me?
