What is LUA?

How much memory do we have? How can we increase this?

Thanks in advance.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_(programming_language)

    It is a language that get's interpreted by the client. So it suffers the memory limits of the client.
    It also propably runs in the UI thread, so care must be taken to not slow down graphics display.

    The clientis 32-bit, so it is 4 GiB memory or less (depending on how much the game itself needs).

    Asking in the Addon/UI Forum would have been better.

    re memory limit:
    There seems to be a seperate memory limit for lua. It must still take it's "part" from the total 4 GiB avalible to the game itself.
    It can propably be increased via the user settings file:
