Well, Scott, actually the real issue is all about the support for the
Haiku API. Personally, I am interested in Lua. I know you have already
ported it to Haiku, and my heartfelt thanks go to you for this major
contribution; however, since the support for the Haiku API is still
missing, we can't really say that Lua is available for Haiku, can we?
At least, not for production purposes.
In a series of emails a while ago the matter of Lua bindings for the
Haiku API was briefly discussed, but it seems that no one has taken up
the project yet.
