[Alex · Rating 5 out of 5]

Almost perfect book which might in some sense not just about Lua but overall about language design, elegance and all that. Last chapters on embedding are complex but nevertheless useful.

[Nathaniel Inman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mostly picked this up to read about coroutines and embedding it in c/rust (no rust here.) Was incredibly surprised at the depth. It doesn't just cover the basic language but incredibly helpful "luaisms" such as implementing prototype based inheritance like JavaScript, multiple inheritance, event driven programming, iterators etc. Roberto isn't afraid to get into the weeds and show the power of the language. Whether you need a "getting started" on the keywords or drive into complex implementations and see practical patterns and usage, this book has it. My bookmarks are on pages 32,57, 64, 81, 92, 99, 118, 130, 140, 172, 199, 219, 248, & 262.

A comprehensive but concise overview of the language by the chief architect himself. Contains exercises and recommends best practices. Go-to resource for programmers interested in Lua.

[Jeffrey Henning · Rating 5 out of 5]

Originally I thought "Lua: Quick Reference" was all I needed, because the language seemed to just be a minimalistic scripting language. The more I used the language, though, the more I realized how elegant and powerful Lua is. This book, by one of the authors of the language, gave me the big picture that I was missing. (It's tables all the way down.) [I skipped the section on embedding Lua with C, as I am not a C programmer.]

Mostly read due to Neovim Lua configuration. Helped a lot unserstanding syntax
