User Reviews

  • Works well so far in Java project.
  • Luaj is a pleasure to use. I particularly appreciate Luaj still working on older JDKs because there's still some environments using older JDKs.
  • great library. handles all the lua code in en.wikipedia.org and other WMF wikis. is also much faster than the standard lua binary. documentation makes it easy to use and customize.
  • very easy to use and incredibly fast.
  • It's great, but it doesn't support newproxy()... (look up Lua hidden features)
