@Bunn0241 @matrix @mcgee most vidya I play uses lua in conjunction with C++ for the engine. Is there a particular reason why it's used so often?

@Nelagara @Bunn0241 @mcgee The reason is right on the Lua website: "Lua is implemented in pure ANSI C and compiles unmodified in all platforms that have an ANSI C compiler. Lua also compiles cleanly as C++."

@matrix @Bunn0241 @mcgee I know it's often used in collaboration with C++, just wondering why Lua, in particular, sees use in a lot of games I play.

@Nelagara
I think it's because it's easier to implement and extend
