Lua

Lua is a powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language.Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.'Lua' means 'moon' in Portuguese and is pronounced LOO-ah.
