And now to give you a practical example what I personally do with lua(4) right now: In the past I wrote several tty line disciplines to decode various serial formats. Now I have a need for that again. Doing this in C is of course possible, but I want something more dynamic. So I wrote a tty line discipline that uses Lua to do all the decoding. That works like a charm: Load the script, test, change the script and reload. Really practical. I will release this code once I sorted out a few remaining details. And in the course of this work, I also found deficencies in slattach(8). Please show us the code. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be there in order to make a case.
