Notes on the Implementation on Lua 5.3 is a collection of my notes on the Lua 5.3 source code. It’s a mix of both high-level ideas and interesting details in the source code.
There can be errors. Feel free to contact me if you have any question or feedback.
Why Lua?
In the world of embeddable scripting language, Lua is still the most well-known solution. It’s lightweight enough to run on mobile phones, IoT devices. The implementation is simple, efficient, and portable, which makes it a valuable learning target.
Since I’m still a beginner about compiler and interpreters. It strikes a perfect balance for me.
Enjoy.
