"Very early on in the development of Lua we started using the question 'But will it work in a microwave oven?' as a half-serious test for including features while avoiding bloat. I'm glad to see that the eLua project promises to deliver Lua to small devices that can make a difference."

Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, Lua Team member

"eLua takes a rock-solid VM and fits it in a small space. It lets you program microcontrollers with an easy-to-learn, high-level language. I see this programming model and the eLua project itself really gaining momentum"

Dean Hall, embedded systems developer

"eLua makes the complex world of 32-bit processors easy and affordable for all. Thanks for your great work guys"

"As Horace Dediu says, a platform is a promise, and eLua offers a
quite nice one."

André Carregal, Kepler project architect

"This is a really wonderful project, not only for people engaged on the core dev but for newcomers that now have the pleasure to work with this innovative (and fun!) way to give life to electronic pieces. I'm specially interested on the remote procedure calls components of eLua, which allows boards to communicate using impressive and simple models, in the simplicity of Lua. "
