   cf.lua               temperature conversion table (celsius to farenheit)
   echo.lua             echo command line arguments
   env.lua              environment variables as automatic global variables
   factorial.lua        factorial without recursion

   hello.lua            the first program in every language
   life.lua             Conway's Game of Life
   luac.lua             bare-bones luac
   printf.lua           an implementation of printf
