That's a good idea from what I know of it. Thanks. Dunno how the web development story is with that -- I'll have to look into it.

Lua shines at precisely two things. Being well embeddable and glueing libraries together thanks to that feature.

This makes it one of the languages of choice for auxiliary scripting a big system, like a game or an application. (The other common choice is Python, and nowadays also JavaScript.)

Anything else, it is relatively awkward at.
