"The Evolution of an Extension Language: A History of Lua"

Before Lua, there was Sol (sun in Portuguese) which was an acronym
(for Simple Object
Language). The language matured and needed a new name: Lua as a
counterpar of
Sol.
Which then gives us an interesting 'circle' of history, as there is the
'Sol' language which is a modification of Lua, and an acronym for 'Son
of Lua'...
