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.
