(Not that it'll be a drop-in replacement for Lua, but at some point the only way I will be able to improve it is through feedback) I'd also like to have some 5.2 compatibility, the rest of the standard library, and a wrapper around the C runtime that allows Guile to use Lua C extensions. But with that said, GSOC is over (which means if anyone reading this would like to have a whack at any of this, be my guest), I'm happy with the results and I hope we can get it included in Guile later on. Big thanks to Andy and Ludo for putting up with me.
