Hmm, that makes a little more sense than what I thought you were saying. I still don't think it's correct, though. Lua has those facilities already; you don't have to implement them yourself. My point is that it isn't like programming in assembly or C where you either implement them yourself or do without. When OO or reflection is the saner alternative, in Lua, you can just use it.
I see your point and have even shared it, but my experience with real-business Lua was miserable and actively laughed at. Which was, I must admit now, absolutely deserved.
Condolences! Fortunately, my own Lua experience has entirely been real-fun Lua instead of real-business Lua.
