Journal of Computer Languages
Special Issue Celebrating 30 Years of the Lua Programming Language === Guest Editors * Francisco Sant'Anna, Rio de Janeiro State University, Brazil * Sérgio Medeiros, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil === About the Special Issue Lua is a dynamically typed programming language that provides a good balance between power and simplicity. Lua is designed as an embeddable scripting language, such that it can work in conjunction with other languages and applications. The balance between power and simplicity, along with its scripting capabilities make Lua an ideal choice for embedded systems and games. In this special edition call for papers, we are celebrating 30 years of the Lua Programming Language. The topics of interest in this special issue on Lua include, but are not restricted to: * Industrial experiences with Lua (e.g, games, embedded systems, cloud systems). * Design of libraries or features that integrate closely with Lua (e.g., LPeg, OO systems). * Languages that are based on or inspired by Lua (e.g., Pallene, Typed Lua, Metalua). * Semantics of advanced features of Lua (e.g., coroutines, the C API, metaprogramming). * Implementation techniques of the Lua runtime (e.g., VMs, JITs, GCs). * Historical perspectives of the impact of Lua. === Important dates: - Submission deadline: September 15, 2024 - Notification to authors: December 15, 2024 === Submission link: - https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-computer-languages/about/call-for-papers#celebrating-30-years-of-the-lua-programming-language For more information about the special issue, please contact the guest editors (sergio.medeiros@ufrn.br, francisco@ime.uerj.br). |
