Lua is a very fast and powerful scripting language that can be easily embeddable. It can be used to develop robust applications and has been shining in industries like game development, for example. Lua is also an excellent tool as a general purpose language. However, it's use in web developments, despite its great potential and incredible benchmarks, needs to be more widespread. I'd like to show you Sailor, a web MVC framework completely written in Lua.
