Nelua! This is the description from its own repo:<p><pre><code> Minimal, efficient, statically-typed and meta-programmable systems programming language heavily inspired by Lua, which compiles to C and native code.
</code></pre>
In other words, if you like Lua syntax, you like extending your language's behavior via meta-programming like you do with LISP, but you also want to have C performance, then Nelua is your ultimate choice!<p>You can mix it with C without breaking a sweat; just have a look at <a href="https://nelua.io/overview/" rel="nofollow">https://nelua.io/overview/</a> and you will understand what I mean.
