 SUMMARY="A powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language"
-DESCRIPTION="
-Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description \
-constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is \
-dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual \
-machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage \
-collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
