ConTEXT Editor vs. DroidEdit vs. JavaScript vs. Lua Comparison Chart

Take your work everywhere. Code while you're waiting for the bus or when you're relaxing in a nice beach. Edit your files directly from the cloud. DroidEdit works with Dropbox, Drive, Box, (S)FTP servers and Git. More file providers coming shortly. Syntax highlighting for almost 200 different programming languages. Don't rush to your office if you receive an emergency call asking you to change some code. Just pick your mobile phone and edit everything you need. Checkout, edit, commit and push directly from your phone or tablet. Some developers prefer dark backgrounds, others can only code on paper white screens. To each his own. Use one of the many provided themes for syntax highlighting. If you don't like any, create your own. Expand simple expressions into full fledged HTML code automagically using Emmet.

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. Substantial fractions of large applications have been written in Lua.
