In this This article, I have mentioned only mentions only one aspect of programming TeX: macros that manipulate their input and output some text to the main TeX stream. Many other kinds of manipulations are possible: LuaTeX provides access to TeX boxes, token lists, dimensions, glues, catcodes, direction parameters, math parameters, etc. The details can be found in the [http://www.luatex.org/documentation.html LuaTeX manual].
→Conclusion
LuaTeX is removing many TeX barriers: using system fonts, reading and writing Unicode files, typesetting non-Latin languages, among others. However, the biggest feature of LuaTeX is the ability to use a high-level programming language to program TeX. This can potentially lower the learning curve for programming TeX.
