That’s a pretty crazy use of Lua if I may say so.

It is possible to craft continue-like logic in lua, however, with (out of all things) goto statements.

For example, I have the following code in my dotfiles:

	for _, lang in pairs(loopvar) do
		if condition then
			goto continue
		end
		<do whatever the loop actually does>
		::continue::
	end

Of course the continue could be called anything. Really felt uncomfortable resorting to this way but it is possible :-)
