Member of Laboratory that Created Lua Language Will Be at FISL

The Lua language, born in the PUC-Rio laboratory and so present in games and embedded systems, will gain space at FISL with the presence of Sérgio Queiroz de Medeiros. The talk enters a topic that always generates conversation: how script languages integrate with C without becoming a mess.

The proposal is to show approaches used by different languages and, in the specific case of Lua, practical examples with the API to talk with C programs. It makes sense. Part of Lua’s success is precisely in lightness and ease of embedding the interpreter in larger applications, maintaining performance and control. For those who work with extensibility and need to choose the right tool for each part of the system, it’s a good opportunity to see the subject treated by someone who lives this in the laboratory.

FISL takes place in Porto Alegre, at PUCRS Events Center. It’s one of those meetings where the community recognizes itself and ideas jump from one room to another. Having someone from the team that created Lua on stage only increases the weight of the programming.
