I don't understand... This doesn't look like a programming language. It looks like a new VM for the Lua language, but with batteries included.

There's a difference between "language" and "language implementation". With this you have a new language implementation, but not a new language per se.

Furthermore, I think it could benefit from marketing as batteries for Lua, instead of a new thing Lua compatible. Your runtime would benefit from things like Lua's package manager (LuaRocks) and getting the existing Lua community to try this?

Indeed:

> NPL embeds the small Lua/luajit compiler, and adds tons of native C/C++ API and new programming paradigms, making NPL a general purpose language/runtime.

The page also thinks "C/C++" is a language and that "JAVA" (in contradistinction to Java, I suppose) exists.
