Nah, Lua is missing a few more things:
(a) a P.T. Barnum showman (a focal-point "evangelist" personality)
(b) a sizable gaggle of loud (and I mean *loud*) cheerleaders (to 
push Lua as the next big thing since "sliced bread")
(c) a Rolodex full of contact to media and major blogs, for the 
use of (a) and (b)
(d) a collection of terminology that can be made "fashionable", 
e.g. XP (Extreme Programming), Agile Programming

etc. :-)
