Description

  ConcurrentLua is a system that implements a concurrency model for the Lua

  programming language. It is based on the share-nothing asynchronous

  message-passing model that is employed in the Erlang programming language.

  ConcurrentLua extends Lua's coroutines with message-passing primitives, in

  order to support concurrent programming. Distributed programming is supported

  transparently with the same message-passing primitives.

  ConcurrentLua is implemented as a collection of Lua modules that can be

  loaded by any Lua program. Most of the code is written in Lua itself, with

  minor parts written in C.
