Can I use CSound in lua without knowing C?

I'm trying to learn my first computer language, lua, which will be interpreted by a musical synthesizer module running C++ code at a lower level. I'm wondering if I can use CSound without coding C++ at all, only lua.



I want to use CSound code because I believe that lots of useful code is open source. I am yet to do any programming of the synthesizer, just learning my my first language right now.
