I was in hope that Lua is an alternative to (cryptical, hard to read)
Perl and (stupid indent based) Python. After one year programming in php
(old bugs, new version with new bugs, incorrect manual, stupid
functions, old code is incompatible to newer versions, ...) I am
searching for an alternative with all the stuff needed for html
based internet applications.

I feel very happy about the language design of Lua (also the impression
of an well formated Lua script). I like it also to write my own
libraries (in Lua - not in C).

For me the language design itself is a the most important argument. I
don't accept any language for my daily work.

  Anyhow, that's my $0.02.
