## Summary

Terra is a low-level system programming language embedded in and meta-programmed by Lua. It is designed to be meta-programmed from Lua and can be used as an embedded JIT-compiler for building languages, a scripting-language with high-performance extensions, or a stand-alone low-level language. Terra entities are first-class Lua values, allowing for programmatically generated Terra code.
