+### Lua.2
+
+The second Lua implementation of mal has been tested with Lua 5.3 and
+5.4 this implementation does not include readline functionality. In
+order to have it one can use `rlwrap`. This implementation uses manual
+tokenizer instead of using regular expressions.
+
+```
+cd impls/lua.2
+./stepX_YYY.lua

+rlwrap ./stepX_YYY.lua

+rlwrap ./stepX_YYY.lua

+Major difference from first Lua implementation is tokenisation is done manually instead of using regular expressions.

+* rlwrap (optional) for readline editing [rlwrap](https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap)
+```sh
+# for repl with a readline
+rlwrap ./stepA_mal.lua
