From the article: > "Everyone has different needs so the places where serious money is getting poured into using Lua don't really have much of an incentive to standardize -- it wouldn't give them any benefit." I really don't think that's true. It _is_ true that a standard library doesn't cater to single developers' or companies specific, custom needs and performance tradeoffs. But that's only true for limited parts of the code. Most of an application's code is not the critical "secret sauce", and typically, we are well served with standard library facilities. We simply don't use the small part where we need something different. It's like that for basically any high-level language, I believe; and standardization is desirable and appreciated. Are we really to believe that most big LUA users need their own regex library for LUA? Their own sqlite library? etc.
