……挺不错的：《The Implementation of Lua 5.0》（http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/doc/sblp2005.pdf）。之前的讨论帖见：http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=617278。如果你想学 Lua，Ierusalimschy 写的《Programming in Lua》（http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/）绝对是天花板级别的神书。Lua 是我最喜欢的语言之一。虽然它单拿出来就很棒，但如果你熟悉 C 语言，能从它身上榨出的价值会多得多。Lua+C……

Past discussion: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=617278 If you want to learn Lua, Ierusalimschy's _Programming in Lua_ (http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/) is by far the best book. Lua is one of my favorite languages. While it's good on its own, you'll get a lot more out of it if you're comfortable with C. Lua+C…
……有趣的书……1. 《What would Machiavelli do》2. 《小熊维尼的道》3. 《面包与自由》。如果是关于编程或工程的？1. 《程序员修炼之道》2. 《Mr. Neighborly's Humble Little Ruby Book》3. 《Programming in Lua》。突然被这么一问有点卡壳。我本来以为自己能列出更多，但一时半会儿想不起来别的了。要是你哪天发帖求推荐 YouTube 视频，我肯定能滔滔不绝……

Programming in Lua I feel put on the spot. I thought there would be more but I can't think of any at the moment. If you ever make a post asking for YouTube video suggestions, I'll definitely be able to comment on that…
……一个为 C 项目提供开箱即用脚本语言的库。它本身也是门很棒的语言，简单却极富表现力，风格介于 Python 和 Javascript 之间。（Ierusalimschy 写的《Programming in Lua》是你唯一需要的书，不过手头备一本纸质参考手册也没坏处。）Prolog 是一门好玩的语言。你可能得坚持啃上一阵子，它才会突然开窍……
…library that provides a drop-in scripting language for C projects. It's a also nice language in its own right, simple but very expressive, and stylistically somewhere between Python and Javascript. (_Programming in Lua_ by Ierusalimschy is the only book you need, though having a printed copy of the reference manual wouldn't hurt.) Prolog is a fun language. You'll probably need to stick with it a while before it switches…
我也想为《Programming in Lua》站个台，这可能是我读过的专门讲某一门编程语言的单本书里最棒的一本了（只有 K&R 能与之一战）。觉得它好的人可不止我一个——亚马逊上的 30 条评价里，有 25 条给了 5……
I also want to defend Programming in Lua, which is probably the best single book devoted to a programming language that I've ever read (only K&R comes close). I'm not alone in thinking highly of it--on Amazon, of the 30 reviews, 25 give it 5…
……后来扩展成书的那篇论文（http://www.literateprogramming.com/ctraps.pdf）在网上甚至能免费看。另外，对于任何从事现代 C 开发的人，我强烈推荐 Hanson 的《C Interfaces and Implementations》和 Ierusalimschy 的《Programming in Lua》第二版。前者把怎么写好 C 库讲透了，而后者则涵盖了一个极其出色的具体库，它提供了一个可移植、对 C 友好、成熟、高效（http://luajit.org/）且现成的脚本语言……
…(http://www.literateprogramming.com/ctraps.pdf) that grew into the book is even free online. Also, for anybody doing modern C work, I strongly recommend both Hanson's _C Interfaces and Implementations_ and Ierusalimschy's _Programming in Lua_, 2nd ed. The former nails writing good C libraries, and the latter covers one particular library that provides a portable, C-friendly, mature, efficient (http://luajit.org/), ready-made scripting language…
Roberto Ierusalimschy 的《Programming in Lua》第二版绝对是瑰宝。写得好、精炼而且极具权威性（他是这门语言的联合创始人之一）。不过有件事值得注意：他正在写第三版（针对 Lua 5.2 进行了更新）……
Roberto Ierusalimschy's Programming in Lua, 2nd Ed. is an absolute gem. Well written, concise and very authoritative (he's one of the language's co-creators). One thing worth knowing though: he's working on the 3rd edition (updated for Lua 5.2),…
