Gambas is a Basic language with object extensions. A program written with Gambas is a set of files. Each file describes a class, in terms of object programming. The class files are compiled, then executed by an interpreter. It is very inspired by Java. Gambas is made up of the following programs: * compiler * interpreter * archiver * graphical user interface component * development environment The development environment is written with Gambas itself, to show the abilities of the language. Features - A Gambas project is stored under 1 directory. The archiver transforms the project directory structure in one sole executable file - Compiling a project only requires the compilation of the modified classes. Every external reference of a class is solved dynamically at the execution time - Gambas has a component architecture that allows to extend the language. Anyone can write components as shared libraries that dynamically add new native classes to the interpreter. Components can be written in Gambas. The component architecture is documented in the Wiki encyclopaedia - By default, the Gambas interpreter is a text-only program. The component architecture is used for writing the graphical user interface part of the language - The graphical user interface is implemented as a component, Gambas will be able to be independent of any toolkit! Write a program, and choose the toolkit later : GTK+, Qt4.. - Gambas projects are easily translatable - Its object model is simple but powerful

The official lua website is a pretty good place to go! As well as lua users & tutorials point has a really good tutorial for lua too! The official site may be hard to understand at time (it was for me at least) but that’s why I gave you the other two. they’ll explain it simpler/better than the official site may sometimes. Hope this helps! Source: about 1 year ago

I have tried a few thins but no luck and found nothing on the web, also looks as if lua.org main forums no longer exist. Source: over 1 year ago
Not at all! Lua, for instance, starts indexing at 1. I don't like it personally, but Lua obviously exists and is quite popular. Source: over 1 year ago
