Metalua is a metaprogramming extension to Lua 5.1, i.e. a compiler which allows to extend the language's syntax and semantics from within programs

The subtitle for the homepage is: "Lisp extensibility, Lua syntax"

The two "samples" are rather impressive:

Typechecking introduces optional runtime type checking into Lua. It features syntax extension (addition of a typing operator), existing syntax modification (functions get their parameters and returned values checked), and non-local code modification (return statements in functions are chased down to get additional typechecking code).

Pattern matching demonstrates how to add pattern matching, a distinctive feature of languages from the ML family, into Lua. These complex testing control statements are compiled into a (possibly long) list of if statements and local variables bindings. They are supported by a syntax extension which shows how to save a lot of work by reusing Lua's expression syntax with a very different semantics.

Note for ML programmers: I feared that pattern matching without type inference would be hard to use; it's actually quite pleasant, and I hadn't many issues with the lack of static typing.
