About FeatherLua

FeatherLua is a Lua runtime coded in JavaScript, designed to be more forgiving and better than Lua. Feedback would be appreciated, as I would like for this to be as good as I can make it!

FeatherLua is still very early in development, but the Runtime has been mostly finished.

You can visit the Documentation to get started. Check out docs/Introduction.md first!
