I don't see why you want to replace things to use "{}" instead of adding more actual useful syntax like macros.

What if you want to use do...end to create a scope?

local f
do
local t = {}
f = function(x) if(t[x])then return t[x] end
if(x <= 0)then return 1 end
t[x] = f(x-1) * x
return t[x]
end
end
print(f(5))

@stravant some people like the fact braces are only one character to type. others don't even want to type braces - they program python.

We complain that stuff is locked. Now we complain stuff works. :P

Anyway, didn't someone make a 'Lua to Java' thing?

@Quenty, yes, but to say the least -it really isn't the best conversion (and not too hard to do, anyway).

Of course it would be impossible, but you can do what curt had done and simply convert some syntax using gsub

And that's where it becomes impossible.

..Or you're very, very good with string manipulation.
