This duality of languages brings many benefits. Lua is a tiny and simple language, partly because it does not try to do what C is already good for, such as sheer performance, low-level operations, or interface with third-party software. Lua relies on C for those tasks. What Lua does offer is what C is not good for: a good distance from the hardware, dynamic structures, no redundancies, ease of testing and debugging. For that, Lua has a safe environment, automatic memory management, and great facility to handle strings and other kinds of data with dynamic size.}, howpublished = {html}, interhash = {02fb2097ded219987b4e5ea1c1c62f28}, intrahash = {472b90f0c3f0c16bd647d9198b3d223c}, keywords = {freebook programming lua langman}, month = {December}, note = {Online (html) version of the book avail at the URL}, organization = {lua.org}, timestamp = {2006-01-16T15:19:43.000+0100}, title = {Programming in Lua}, url = {http://www.lua.org/pil/}, year = 2003 }
