- Provides an integrated Lua scripting environment to .NET applications via NLua (http://nlua.org).
- Facilitates runtime C# code compilation into this environment for scripting.
- Free and open source (MIT license).

Create a Goose VM, then use it to compile a C# class from source and create an instance.
//Spin up a VM
VM vm = new VM();
//Compile some C# classes
vm.Compile("MyAwesomeAssembly", new string[]{
@"
using System;
namespace MyAwesomeNamespace
{
public class Pigeon
{
public Pigeon()
{
Console.WriteLine(""Moo!"");
}
public string Wassup()
{
return ""I am the pigeon to end all pigeons."";
}
}
}"
});
//Create an instance of our new class with Lua and assign it to a Lua global
vm.DoString("p = Pigeon()");Invoke a method on the instance and obtain the result.
Console.WriteLine(vm.DoString("return p:Wassup()")[0]);.NET 4's dynamic type means you can pull a scripted object straight into the CLR and start working with it.
dynamic pigeon = vm.DoString("return p")[0];
string whatsUp = pigeon.Wassup();
Console.WriteLine(whatsUp);Obtain a reference to a Lua function and invoke directly from the CLR
LuaFunction func = vm.DoString("return function(whatsUp) Console.WriteLine(whatsUp) end")[0]
as LuaFunction;
func.Call(whatsUp);The MIT License (MIT)
