About

Dart is an object-oriented, class-based, garbage-collected language developed by Google.

Lua is a lightweight scripting language designed primarily for embedded use in applications.

It features a small core written in C, automatic memory management, fast execution through a simple virtual machine, a flexible table-based data model, and a standard library that fits in a few hundred kilobytes, making it suitable for games, embedded systems, and extensible software.

For example, Lua is embedded in OpenResty for dynamic request processing, in Tarantool as a scripting layer for data transformations, and in the Kong API gateway for routing, authentication, and plugins.
