lua2php

library0.4.2-1jsnpmunverified

Lua to PHP transpiler that converts Lua source code into PHP. Current version 0.4.2-1. The package is experimental, with many caveats: limited Lua 5.1 support, no metatables, no loadstring, restricted print and error functions, and tables become PHP objects with an 'array' property. It works via CLI command lua2php. Suitable for niche transpilation needs, but not production-ready.
