I started off programming in Basic on the ZX81, then BASICA, GW-BASIC, and QBasic. I moved on to C (Ah, Turbo C 3.1, I hardly knew ye...)

I moved on t...

When I see Lua, the only thing I ever read is "great for embedding", "fast", "lightweight" and more often than anything else: "World of Warcraft" or in short "WoW". Why is it limited to embedding the whole thing into another application? Why not write general-purpose scripts like you do with Python or Perl? Lua seems to be doing great ...
