LowerClass

LowerClass is a simple yet powerful object-oriented programming library for Lua, designed to extend the functionality of the popular MiddleClass library. It provides enhanced features for inheritance, metamethod handling, and mixin support, making it suitable for developers who need more flexibility in their Lua projects.

Key Features

• Complex Inheritance — Supports multiple inheritance and parent class initialization.
• Metamethod Support — Allows custom metamethods for classes and instances.
• Weak Mixin Support — Enables mixins to be included in classes or instances with weak references.
• Class and Instance Methods — Includes utilities like type checking, inheritance validation, and dynamic mixin inclusion.
• Backward Compatibility — Core functionality is modeled after MiddleClass, with extended features.

Philosophy

LowerClass builds upon the solid foundation of MiddleClass, adding features that address limitations while maintaining simplicity and compatibility for Lua developers.
