That's what I call wisdom!
Although I'm not Lua-wizard, I'm experienced C++ (and some other languages)
programmer and I agree 100%.
I like Lua because it is _small_, has clean syntax and its extension
capabilities are powerful.
Don't try to turn it into Swiss-army knife - or you'll end up with Perl...
