My question is, what is the benefit of using Lua?

I've never used Lua, but I also have a curiosity about it.

A couple of years ago, I wrote my first dialplan in AEL. Some bits were clumsy, minor syntax errors caused major parts of my dialplan to disappear, and I discovered a bunch of bugs*.

But, many parts were elegant. Bits that would have been an ugly mess in 'plain dialplan' seemed obvious and clear.

I would expect a similar experience with Lua. Kind of an opposite '1984**' experience.

If you take the jump, please post your experiences.

*) This was in 1.2 so there was no benefit in reporting the bugs.

**) In Orwell's 1984, the 'scope' of language was reduced to eliminate the ability to express subversive thoughts.
