title: Lua Equivalent for NumPy and SciPy?
body: <p>I'm thinking of learning lua, i learned that it is a smaller language compared to python and has an efficient JIT compiler implementation in the form LuaJIT.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know is it possible to use lua the way i use python with Numpy+Scipy.
  further if Lua has numpy+scipy equivalent does it have a matplotlib equivalent?</p>
