There is now a serious alternative to lua: Jx9 which uses a syntax similar to C and JavaScript and is being used in many commercial games. http://jx9.symisc.net/



It looks neat, although the use of $ turns me off about as much as the 1-indexing in Lua. :) Do you have a list of released games that use it?



I don't see a reference to a single game (or any other product) made using it.


looks more like php than lua. Couldn't see a module/table type of thing? Not sure why I'd use this instead of lua - it's stable and fast. But interested in hearing some reasons
