I'm just wondering, why don't we have by now a Lua alternative to
JavaScript in the browsers?
I found Lua to be a good scripting language that has a lot of things
in common with JavaScript. Don't get me wrong, I like coding in
JavaScript but the language it's not perfect. And yet it still is the
only language of the web, although small, fast scripting languages
such as Lua exists for some time now.
Just a thought. :)

Personally I love LUA - used to write WoW addons when i played it and
have some other project in this language. And yes - it has both
cross-platform compiler and interpreter, so - it seems possible to embed
it in a browser.
But why stop here - can`t we just apply our C source codes in the
HTML/HTTPD so a client side compiler prepares them and fires our inbuild
functions and libraries running native, architecture optimized code, as
you all know C gives best memory management options and produces fastest
code; on the other hand its easy and widely spread and its even studied
in every computer-science university program. Sounds good, huh :) ?
