Not tested on a device yet. What that means
Lua in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own lua5.4 package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so Lua should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
lua5.4luac5.4
Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.
Interpreters and runtimes run on the device's own ARM64 processor, from Debian's own packages. Keep projects in your Linux home folder, which is much faster than Android's shared folders for trees of many small files. Libraries with compiled parts need an ARM64 Linux build, or the tools to build one on the device. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About Lua
From Debian's package description
Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. The language engine is accessible as a library, having a C API which allows the application to exchange data with Lua programs and also to extend Lua with C functions. Lua is also used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language through the simple command line interpreter provided.
This package contains the Lua command line interpreter and bytecode compiler. Install it if you are developing or using Lua scripts.
