Hi Luiji,

No Itisnt has already mentioned that Guile will support Lua, but I don't
think there's a problem with using the canonical implementation of Lua,
no. Basically the thing is, use what you want, but GNU suggests Guile;
and in the near future Guile will have decent support for a couple other
languages, Lua included.

But I'm responding to you over this paragraph. It's not about parsing,
it's about (eventually) turning your application inside-out. See

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/565540/download/2/guile.html/Programming-Overview.html#Programming-Overview

for a discussion.

Happy hacking,

Andy
