esle / Bracket-ed-Lua

a Lua variant compatible with original Lua while has the option of define blocks using `{' and `}' like C/C++ guys

About

Based on Lua 5.2.2

Compatible with original Lua - except for one thing: you cannot do f{x=1,y=2} stuff now, use f({x=1,y=2}) instead

Done some tweaks on lparser.c and nothing else

Why

I do this just for fun

Well, not just for fun actually - using { and } notation, I can benefit more from VIM, e.g. %, [[, ]], gd &etc.

• and I love VIM

Samples

local f = function() {
    local i=0;
    return function() {
        i=i+1;
        return i;
    }
}
local g = f()
for i=1,10 {
    print(g())
}
for i=1,10 do
    print(g())
end

local i=0
while i<10 {
    if i<5 {
        print('a')
    } elseif i<7 {
        print('b')
    } else {
        print('c')
    }
    i=i+1
}

State

Working well - I think
