Great. They'll have to deal with Lua weak spots like Unicode and hopefully we get a bunch of nice libraries for it and a boost to the language popularity.

Up until now I've been working with Python. Lua is very appealing, it just doesn't have enough mindshare or a kitchen sink library. I have half a mind to do a Flask/Sinatra clone but there's probably no audience for it yet.
