I don't know, but it would be interesting! Talk to Jean-Claude Wippler, he started using Lua for the core engine of Vlerq earlier this year. (And of course he is already a Tcl expert, not to mention other languages.) You might also want to check with Lua people to see what they're currently doing for web and application servers. I wonder if/how they leverage coroutines in interesting ways. Perhaps they'd be interested in Naviserver with Lua, I don't know. I've never used it for anything at all, but Lua is high on my list of Interesting Programming Languages. > It is really lightweight!

Lua reportedly has regular expression suppot, it's just not included in core Lua, you have to load a third party extension module. That should be just fine (even superior) as a design, but Lua seems to be crying out for a real Batteries Included distribution, with good standard libraries, etc. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
