Very cool! I can definitely see this being useful. Out of curiosity, what encouraged you to choose Lua instead of JavaScript or another server-side language?

- smarx 14y agoWe probably need to write a FAQ for this. Until then, the short answer is that Lua is well-designed and well-understood as an embedded language (how we use it). That means it was easy and fast for us to integrate. If we get a lot of feedback about it, we can definitely change course on this later by adding JavaScript and/or other languages.
- Geee 14y agoI haven't ever used Lua, but I think it's simple and easy enough to pick up and learn quickly, so personally it doesn't bother me at all. I'll definitely be using this service when I have the need for it.
