Lua vs PHP/Python/JSP/etc
If it's only the language, then I agree with Norman. If the web development framework is important to you, then you have to consider Ruby because RoR is a very mature framework. I love Python, but there seems to be quite a few frameworks to choose from, none of them is dominant. CherryPy, Django, Pylons, web2py, Zope 2, Zope 3, etc. One important indicator to me is that there are more RoR jobs on the market than any other (language, framework).
I'm about to begin my next web development project and wanted to hear about the merits of Lua within the web-development space.
How does Lua compare to PHP/Python/JSP/etc.. for web development?
Any reason why Lua would be a poor choice for a web application language vs the others?
