@gdorn I was just looking at JVM Luas a couple weeks ago and somehow I missed Kahlua... wow, targeting J2ME huh? that is wild
I can see how it would be frustrating to work in an environment where you're tied to the host language's class hierarchy whether you like it or not; all my experience has been a lot more greenfield where that hasn't been an issue
hopefully you get some chances in the future to try Lua in a more productive context and don't hold this experience against it =)
