Current version is nearly a full screen. I'm going to change it to
the up-to-date description from http://www.lua.org/about.html :

   Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, 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.
