I recently looked into Lua and it seems really nice. The only annoying thing is its lack of (standard) libraries. But with the JIT compiler comes along a nice FFI C interface.
Coming from a java background, i tried to avoid C as much as possible, so my question: has anyone some experience with LuaJIT, especially its FFI interface, and how difficult is it to set up a library for someone with little to no knowledge in C?
Seemed really simple to me, and Mike Pall has some nice tutorials on it here, the lua mailing list also includes some good examples, so check out the archives as well
