.LUA File

The lua file extension is commonly associated with so called lua scripts.

Lua is a powerful, fast, light-weight, 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.

Lua scripts are used in many programs, such as VLC player and computer games like World of Warcraft, Homeworld, Prototype, Warcraft 2, Transport Fever, Baldur's Gate, Blitzkrieg, Civilization 5, Company of Heroes, Crysis, DOTA, Empire: Total Ware, Far Cry, etc.
