Shame about luerl not supporting __metatable properly. That's half of why Lua is awesome.
Still a massive achievement, awesome stuff.
Main issue is that luerl does support metatables. That caveat was written ago and I can't remember what it was I didn't support then. But as I said now it works.
Kudos! That's really awesome then.
I've got a lot of love for Lua(works great in embedded spaces, we use to do game logic in ~400kb block on a PSP with ~8mb of RAM).
Metatables are such an great way of exposing composability without putting a lot of restrictions on how the language works.
