RES: Lua in JavaScript

["Rafael - SosCpdTerra" <soscpd@...>]

Hello Ketmar:


	I like how this project sounds. Maybe not a JS Lua VM. Maybe a
Plugin? I have one http server too, and I use lua on it just like php in
apache. Use lua like js can be really powerfull, including database access
to client script? Sqlite, cache and css can put one entire web site on the
local machine with just one bytecode file and a sqlite database. Wooow...
that sounds nuts... and pretty fast!!!

If you guys like to join... I will start this project just today.

Regards

Rafael

JavaScript does not index tables in the way that Lua does: the key is
converted to a string before being used. This matters when using tables
or functions as table keys.
