Shameless plug here, but if you're interested in voice platforms and are growing weary of Twilio, I'm working on a new hosted telephony platform that uses embedded lua executing directly on our hosted servers. Check it out - https://developers.corvisa.com/

Why did you choose Lua?
It was designed to be embedded, has a very small footprint, is relatively fast ( we use luajit ), and has few opinions as a language. That said, there is nothing locking us in to lua permanently as we would just need to implement a small-ish set of language bindings and docker configs to execute the language du jour.
