My 2 cents... Lua is a little corner of unspoilt paradise. I hate 
to think what would happen if everyone is invited to the party. 
:-) There is no need to attempt world domination by way of 
pandering to 1001 standards-setting bodies. I'd prefer recognition 
of the language by technical merit.

Lua is already in a whole lot of applications. But Lua cannot win 
all the time, because many parties will defend their own choice of 
scripting language religiously. Try swaying the mind of a Python 
evangelist... :-) Whatever, any language is good as long as it 
gets the job gets done.

One client-side scripting language for HTML is quite enough for 
me. Do we really need another one? :-)
