Author here. I wasn't aware people had made Lua Server Pages and so on. Thanks, these are an interesting resource and I may actually investigate experimenting with these at some point. If there's a distinction to be made, it's that things like mod_php provided this embedded script functionality out of the box, whereas it looks like these things are separate modules that need to be stacked on top of something like mod_lua. That's not necessarily even a bad thing, as it means more of the stack is readily customised, but it does mean people aren't given an obvious, bright path to get started with in the way LAMP was. You have to seek it out for yourself.
