Does mlua support luau's type annotations?

One of luau's more compelling features is type annotation.

Does mlua luau support allow it?

type annotations are supported (but luau compiler simply ignores it). I think simiar is in python.
To check the source code with type anotations you need to run an additional tool called luau-analyzer. It's shipped with luau distribution

Thanks for the quick reply! I was trying it out with type annotations and I think it actually caused a syntax error, so I removed it.

Anyway, I didn't know the type annotations were primarily meant to be used with the analyzer, so thanks for the tip!
