"Soon after the article in Dr. Dobb's, we received several messages about Lua. One of the first messages was the following:"

    Hi there...
 
    After reading the Dr. Dobbs article on Lua I was very eager to check it
    out, and so far it has exceeded my expectations in every way!  It's
    elegance and simplicity astound me.  Congratulations on developing such
    a well-thought out language.
 
    Some background: I am working on an adventure game for the LucasArts
    Entertainment Co., and I want to try replacing our older adventure game
    scripting language, SCUMM, with Lua.
