I use different programming languages for different tasks, but the one I prefer is Lua. I have always wanted to use it for the Web, and in a way I already do: this blog is a static website generated by a custom Lua program. I have also written several services that can speak HTTP+JSON in Lua. For larger, HTML-based Web applications however, I have never found the framework I wanted. I have tried severalofthem, but kept coming back to more dependable platforms.
