Anyone using Lua for web apps? What's the current state ofthe ecosystem? Anything good, stable, and easy to deploy?

  That's something I've also been wondering lately, since the Kepler and Orbit projects haven't seen activity for ages (at least according to their webpages). I found this Sinatra clone for Lua called Mercury (http://github.com/nrk/mercury http://github.com/nrk/mercury), but it lacks documentation and does not seem to be very mature at the moment.

    Yeah, I've poked around a bit as well, but didn't find anything that seemed like it was getting traction. I was excited when I heard that mod_lua was going to be included with Apache by default [1] ... but I haven't really heard anything since then.

    LuaForge's ftp server is broken since the big LuaForge crash a few months ago, so those pages are badly out of date. Browse http://github.com/keplerproject http://github.com/keplerproject for more recent information.
