This past week SLua was released to the beta grid (Aditi) on Second Life, itself a branch of Luau created by Roblox as a way to run scripts in their game engine. SLua is a fork of Luau, the language that powers Roblox, it is not designed as a drop-in replacement for LSL but instead a new language that is designed to be more powerful and more flexible than LSL. It is not a new language, but a new implementation of an existing language and this makes it an incredibly powerful language going forwards.
