Is there a "Lua Way"?

Lua has some unusual capabilities that can easily confuse a newcomer at the least. There’s a Ruby Way, there’s Pythonic, is there a Lua Way?

I’m referring to techniques such as mixing table constructors, multiple vs single assignment, and referring to the same thing in different ways: associative arrays, dictionary, or hash. (I’ve seen all three in just three Lua tutorials). [import]uid: 6198 topic_id: 1060 reply_id: 301060[/import]

Here are two links I used and still use in learning LUA:

http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory

Thanks, Mike. I’m using that tutorial and Programming in Lua, Second Edition. Maybe I’ll run into the Lua Way later in the texts. [import]uid: 6198 topic_id: 1060 reply_id: 2621[/import]
