The documentation for the Lua API is here:
http://gittup.org/tup/lua_parser.html
http://gittup.org/tup/ex_lua_examples.html
Lua, as a fully featured programming language, is more powerful than the
default Lua parser.
If you feel the current syntax is expressive enough for your purposes,
there's no reason to use Lua. I've found it a great help abstracting
common behavior in my projects.
The original discussion for the creation of the Lua parser can be found
here:

I was wondering what the role of lua is in yup. So far I haven't touched it, and it seems
little documented, and I don't feel a need for scripting, given that the "run"
directive which lets me write rules in whatever language I care for.
Is there some specific (and ideally common) pattern that requires lua?
One thing I like about tup so far, and I'm still new to it, is that it seems
pretty language agnostic, and without lua it's pretty easy to understand. So
why lua?
