And fast: http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2007-11/msg00248.html As far as "web framework" goes, take a look at Nanoki, which provides a set of HTTP libraries implemented in pure Lua: http://alt.textdrive.com/nanoki/ Here is an online demo of a wiki implemented in pure Lua: http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/search?q=ruby Or at Kepler: http://www.keplerproject.org/ You might find other Lua libraries at LuaForge: http://luaforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=92 The Lua user wiki maintain a list of libraries as well: http://lua-users.org/wiki/LibrariesAndBindings HTH.
