Also, when would be a _VERSION bump? I need goto and labels so bad, because now I need to define a named function (anonymous call not working properly) to be able to do a simple nested loop break.
P.S. Do not be offended. Topic name is just a joke.
Goto and labels are working just fine. Go get a build with lua 5.2 or make one by yourself.
As for errors in error handling - post that @"bugs and problems" or even better - open an issue @ github.
Where do I get it? I downloaded 0.4.9-dev deb package from download page, but there is only 5.1. Even if I'll make mod using 5.2, no one will be able to use it. So, I'm asking about general massive lua update, not about my personal.
There has been a discussion recently to update to 5.2. I don't recall what was the final decision.
In the meantime, you can build Minetest with LuaJit, which supports `goto', and some other 5.2 features (most Win32 builds come with LuaJit nowadays, and most Linux users use it).
EDIT: On the other hand, I recommend restructuring your code to avoid using `goto' unless absolutely necessary.

Writing software in Brainfuck wouldn't be "obfuscation". Obfuscation is where you write code one way, but then only distribute a modified form that's harder to read and modify. If you write a program in Brainfuck, it's just unreadable because of a bad programming practice (using Brainfuck). No free/libre software license forbids bad programming practices.
If you took something in Lua and somehow automatically translated it to Brainfuck, that would be different. I don't think that's what rubenwardy was talking about, though.
