But don’t just take my word.
More and more, Lua is proving itself as a great language for mobile development, and Corona SDK by Ansca Mobile has been a key ingredient in this movement.
Roberto Ierusalimschy.
Creator of the Lua Language.
I met Roberto a few years back when we first launched Ansca, thanks to Kore Technologies for putting the lunch meeting together. The entire Ansca staff was at lunch and I remember bringing my Lua book to have Roberto sign it. A year later, vacationing in Rio de Janeiro I met Roberto for dinner. By this time, I had a few screen fulls of Corona based games running on my iPhone and I showed him what our developers were creating with Corona and of course with the Lua programming language. He was happy to see how far you guys push both Lua and Corona to do some amazing games.
Lately, as Lua has broken into the top ten languages in the TIBOE Programming Index, the chatter box around Lua has increased both over at Amazon and other venues.
One surprising factor, to me, was that over at Amazon.com, when you search for Lua, the results show a related searches section and “corona sdk” shows up.
So yes, I would agree with Roberto. Corona SDK has proven itself not only as a great tool for mobile development, but it is also pushing Lua as the lingua franca for mobile development as well.
