This year my new year's resolution was to learn Lua. I think with some developer attention it has the potential to become a "better PHP" for web development because it beats PHP in performance, simplicty and elegance. Although I doubt it's going to ever replace PHP I think it's poised to make some inroads now that the next version of Apache will include mod_lua out of the box. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=452396 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=452396
