Lua is a dynamically typed language that is meant typically for embedding into other applications (though can be standalone). It has influences from languages like Modula, though features of functional languages like anonymous functions and higher-order functions. Lua is interesting in that it has one data structure -- the table. Lua also has lots of utilities in its standard library. Finally, we'll briefly check out coroutines at the end. Let me know if you're using lua (or in which project it's embedded) or otherwise one of its varients (e.g. luajit). As always, let me know what resources/tools I missed that others should know about in the comments below! ►YouTube Channel:    / mikeshah   ►Please like and subscribe to help the channel! ►Join our free community: https://courses.mshah.io/communities/...
