    Lua is fully capable of prototype-based object-oriented programming similar to JavaScript.

    Prototype-based programming is a style
    of object-oriented programming in
    which classes are not present, and
    behavior reuse (known as inheritance
    in class-based languages) is performed
    via a process of cloning existing
    objects that serve as prototypes. This
    model can also be known as class-less,
    prototype-oriented or instance-based
    programming. Delegation is the
    language feature that supports
    prototype-based programming.

    For more information, see Chapter 16 – Object-Oriented Programming of the Programming in Lua book.
