Pardon, but I was not subscribed to the list until after this was posted:

Or perhaps someone has already done this for Lua
http://www.lua.org/about.html

I went ahead and wrote up a spec yesterday, but due to some mail routing issues (my fault) I wasn't subscribed to the list until just now.


There's at least 1 problem that I know of: according to the Lua reference manual at http://www.lua.org, a "#" can only indicate a comment at the beginning of a line (am I wrong?). I couldn't find any documentation on the language specification apart from the examples for the built in languages, and thus couldn't find a way to anchor it. I assumed it would be too much to hope for that a "^#" would work?

If you have any questions/comments please feel free to ping me with them. I will make this available at http://www.ghoulsgate.net as soon as the A records propagate.
