This free online converter lets you convert code from Oberon+ to Lua in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Oberon+ | Lua |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Pascal/Modula-2 inspired, simple and structured, uses explicit BEGIN/END blocks. | Minimalist, C-like, uses 'then' and 'end' for blocks, lightweight and concise. |
| Paradigm | Procedural and modular, supports object-oriented features via type extension. | Multi-paradigm: procedural, functional, and data-driven (table-based OOP). |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type checking. | Dynamically typed with automatic type conversion. |
| Performance | Compiled language, generally faster execution. | Interpreted (with optional JIT), fast for a scripting language but usually slower than compiled languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited third-party libraries, mostly standard modules. | Rich ecosystem, many libraries (LuaRocks), widely used in game engines and embedded systems. |
| Community and support | Small, niche community, limited online resources. | Large, active community, extensive documentation and support. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with Pascal-like languages, but less beginner-friendly due to limited resources. | Very easy to learn, simple syntax, lots of tutorials and beginner resources. |
