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

| each language has a different purpose, you cant use lua instead of html just because you like lua |

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. |
