A group of us are working on a Jabber/XMPP server in Lua. Although popular belief seems to be that Lua is really only suitable for embedding in applications, I think it really deserves the chance to be more than that. Our server project is hopefully on track to showing that this can be done, because Lua is a perfectly capable language with a very advanced implementation. It deserves a second look from anyone interested in picking up a flexible new language to help make them more productive. For those interested, our project can be found at http://prosody.im/ http://prosody.im/
