Lua is very similar to JavaScript (one of the most misunderstood programming languages). __index is JavaScript's prototypes, the tables are very similar to JavaScript's dynamic objects, and so on. But does Lua have closures? that would be nice.

  Yes, a JavaScript programmer would be fairly comfortable "inside" Lua.
  
  To answer your question, yes Lua has full support for closures. Section 6.1 in Programming in Lua disucsses them (http://www.lua.org/pil/6.1.html)
