local lx = require'lx'

Lua lexer in C with extensible Lua parser in Lua.

Used as the lexer & parser for terra2.

Can be used to create embedded DSLs that:

• have Lua syntax(1), but have their own grammar and keywords.
• can reference Lua local variables from the outer Lua lexical scope.
• can contain full Lua expressions that are evaluated in the outer Lua lexical scope.

(1): extended with >>, <<, -> operators.

Status

Work in progress.
