Lua is a scripting language, just as Perl, Python, Ruby.
Lua is smaler and faster. It integrates well with C code.
Lua is popular with the Gaming programmers.
Fltk is a Window Widget Toolkit.
Jay Carlson created a binding of Lua with Fltk and thus we can write lua scripts to call Fltk widgets. Lua being a scripting lauguage is easy and fun. Its syntax is clear, clean, and very readable. Lua Fltk does not have much documentation and mostly I have hacked away at my Lua Fltk scripts based on my prior language experience with Java, AWT, and Swing. mikshaw has created a really cool super demo porgram. It is like a manual and live tutorial. I will be posting that up soon.
