I will probably stick with the version that I know, I will have to dig out my manual and see which version I learned from. I don't tend to use higher-order functions very much, i stick to basic data processing and nothing fancy. Thanks for taking an interest!
Russ is using Lua 5.0.2 because that's what was out when I built the slang binding for him, and he has my old Programming in Lua book that documents Lua 5. The build is almost 8 years old, but as the saying goes, if it isn't broken don't fix it, and a newer/faster/fancier version can be done when it's needed. -Lucas
Interesting. Aiming to use the latest Lua or some older stripe of it going forward?
