<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p><strong>Lua Development Tools (LDT)</strong> is about providing Lua developers with an IDE providing
the user experience developers expect from any other tool dedicated
to a static programming language.</p>
<p>
Like many other dynamic languages, Lua is so flexible that it is
hard to analyze enough to provide relevant and powerful tooling.<br>
LDT is using <strong>Metalua</strong>, to analyze Lua source code
and provide nice user assistance.
</p>
<p>LDT is an Open Source tool, licensed under the EPL.</p>
