[q2x] OT: Lua questions

Okay, my #1 bitch about Lua at this time has become the lack of static 
type/safety/syntax checking.

It really, really sucks having to load and execute a script only to 
find out that you did:

self.name = "whatever"

when you meant:

self.client_name = "whatever"

Or that you did:

obj.function(x,y,z)

when you meant:

obj:function(x,y,z)

Ugh.  It's not writing the scripts that's taking forever, it just the 
real basic syntax checking that's just killing me.

Advice?

Brian
