+Luau (lowercase u, /ˈlu.aʊ/) is a fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language derived from [Lua](https://lua.org).
 
 It is designed to be backwards compatible with Lua 5.1, as well as incorporating [some features](https://luau.org/compatibility) from future Lua releases, but also expands the feature set (most notably with type annotations and a state-of-the-art type inference system). Luau is largely implemented from scratch, with the language runtime being a very heavily modified version of Lua 5.1 runtime, with completely rewritten interpreter and other [performance innovations](https://luau.org/performance). The runtime mostly preserves Lua 5.1 API, so existing bindings should be more or less compatible with a few caveats.
