No Itisnt a30c18c22a add lua language implementation
What is missing:

+ Functions: module, getfenv, setfenv, math.modf, table.sort

+ Parser: needs to be more flexible

+ Compiler: needs more extensive work to properly handle all possible
cases of variable arguments, multiple returns, and loops

+ Language: Variable arguments and unpacking of multiple returns. (For
example we need to be able to handle something as complex as
print(unpack({...})), which is easy with Lua's explicit stack but will
require lots of tree-il gymnastics, or perhaps modifications to better
allow different calling conventions. (For instance -- how would we
support Python or Ruby, where keyword arguments are gathered into a
hashtable and passed as a single argument?)

What is there:

A fair shot at supporting Lua 5.1, not quite a drop-in replacement, but
not far from that goal either.
