There have been some attempts at porting Lua to Java before (LuaJava, Kahlua, etc.) or at least attempts at providing an interop, but we're interested in a full port of Lua to Java. Is there any interest in the broader community to use Lua in a J2ME or Java environment? Do you want it to run *on* Java (so the interpreter is written in Java), or do you want it to run *with* Java (so the interpreter is written in C with bridge methods to allow you to call it from Java)? It shouldn't make a difference to the API either way. Personally, I'd quite like something rather different: a Lua *compiler* that generates Java source code. On a lot of the platforms I develop for (GWT, Android) I'm basically stuck with Java, which while it does have some nice features, doesn't really have the nice features I want... -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
