luajr: LuaJIT Scripting

'luajr' provides an interface to LuaJIT, a just-in-time compiler for the Lua scripting language. It allows users to run Lua code from R.

The R API

• lua(): run Lua code

• lua_func(): make a Lua function callable from R

• lua_shell(): run an interactive Lua shell

• lua_open(): create a new Lua state

• lua_reset(): reset the default Lua state

• lua_parallel(): run Lua code in parallel
