Lua Equivalent for NumPy and SciPy?

Question

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.

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?

Answer 1

there is something else, i found something similar to Scipy+matplotlib for Lua,i'm not sure how active development is last release was in January 2011, it is GSL-shell it leverages the GSL library and has plotting capabilities , it is more like matlab than scipy+matplotlib.
