Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Lua is way better than some other languages such as Java and C?

reason WHY you can't do it**

Anyway,

Lua is by no means 'better' than any other language.

It may have it's perks, such as simplicity,

but as Xeptix said,

'...each languages has a different purpose'

Really?

You can make webpages in Lua and have the client interpret the lua code like with HTML.

I've done it before. It's actually pretty awesome.

@Dig,

That actually does sound pretty 'awesome',

I might give it a try sometime.

mhm.

it's especially awesome when after ages of fixing and messing about it finally starts working.

I had to develop my own browser which interpreted JS, it was a big pain.

How did you use Lua to make a website? I didn't even know that was possible.

Lua is not "better" than Java or C

It's just used for different things

You can write Lua code much more quickly but Java or C will run more quickly

HTML is a markup language, trying to use Lua instead would be incredibly stupid to even attempt.

Using other languages is possible, it's just very inefficient and has no true point.
