Does lua command line support threads?

Is there a way to create threads in the default lua command line utility?

As Bartek said there is no support for threads in stock Lua, but you can add thread support to the CLI thanks to the Lua Lanes library (see http://www.luteus.biz/Download/LoriotPro_Doc/LUA/LUA_For_Windows/lanes/index.html / https://github.com/LuaLanes )

No, "stock" build of Lua doesn't have support for threads at all. You can use your operating system forks to spawn more scripts, or stick to coroutines.
