A fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language derived from Lua
Full documentation for the standard library, written from scratch by looking at the source code - so hopefully this is reasonably correct/precise. Some of the function descriptions are probably too concise to be easily understandable - we can flesh this out in the future. Some of the type specifications aren't using valid Luau syntax; in particular, I've used "function" or "table" in a few places as a human-friendly notion that any function/table suffices, and the iterator functions just say that they return <iterator> without being specific as to what the signature of the generator is. |

Luau
Luau is a fast, small, safe, gradually typed embeddable scripting language derived from Lua. It is used by Roblox game developers to write game code, as well as by Roblox engineers to implement large parts of the user-facing application code as well as portions of the editor (Roblox Studio) as plugins.
This repository hosts documentation for the language as well as satellite materials, and can be viewed at https://luau-lang.org/
