_samt_on LuaRT, a comprehensive framework for Windows to develop in Lua

Hi moonchild,

- The license will evolve to a full open source project once a certain degree of maturity will be reached.

- Yes PUC Lua because it's the reference. I won't go to the debate LuaJIT vs PUC Lua. Maybe a LuaJIT version could be released too in the future.

- Yes Lua has all the tools to do OOP, but it's not available out of the box for newcomers. That permits to inherit and extend the LuaRT provided Objects (File, Directory, Socket...)

- Yes Windows specific: Lua support on this platform is very poor and depends a lot on binary modules that must be compiled by hand, which can be a true nightmare on Windows for newcomers.

Hi, Just curious to know if that project respond to a need. I think that interpreted languages don't have the need to those kind of crossovers functionnalities.
