Lua 5.1.3 Binding
Matthias Walter has announced a nifty D binding for Lua 5.1.3. It's feature rich and apparently makes interfacing between the two languages quite simple. From the NG announcement:
* Wrapper classes for lua_State and lua_Buffer make interfacing in OOP style an elegant thing.
* LuaObject classes represent the lua native datatypes and let you save/load them easily to binary streams to save your data or send it over the network
* Safe lua calls are now exception-safe! This was by now impossible, due to Luas use of the longjmp() function family.
* Support for stack- and function-traces for better debugging.
* Processing of output is variable via delegates
* Wrapping of D classes in lua with a per-state registration of specific functionality of the class is possible via mixins. On the one hand, one can create arbitrary Lua objects in D classes, but on the other hand let lua programs create and work on D objects as well.
The source is part of the Bindings project at DSource. You can check it out via SVN at http://svn.dsource.org/projects/bindings/trunk/lua/.
