Lua

#! nix-shell with lua interpreter

To use a nix-shell shebang with lua you will need to use following structure:

#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
--[[
#!nix-shell -i lua -p lua
]]

print("this is from lua")

Some background by samueldr:

Two inter-twined fun facts.

• Lua only skips one shebang line.
• nix-shell doesn't require its magic lines to be right after the first line.
