Metalua
A Lua superset compiler and code analysis tool with compile-time meta-programming capabilities.
What is Metalua?
Metalua is a programming language toolchain that extends Lua 5.1 with compile-time meta-programming capabilities. It serves as both a code analysis tool and a compiler for a superset of Lua, allowing developers to manipulate and generate code during the compilation phase rather than at runtime.
Lua developers who need advanced code generation, domain-specific language creation, or compile-time code transformation capabilities while maintaining compatibility with the Lua ecosystem.
Metalua provides the only comprehensive compile-time meta-programming solution for Lua 5.1, offering powerful code manipulation capabilities while maintaining full compatibility with standard Lua, making it ideal for creating domain-specific languages and advanced code generation tools.
