I know people are sick of this thread, but I just spotted the
following in the August issue of Linux journal:

   Number of 5-year roadmaps for Linux:                                0
   Number of operating systems that support more hardware than Linux:  0

Seems to me like Linux is a good outfit to be in the same boat on:

   Number of 5-year roadmaps for Lua:                                  0
   Number of scripting languages that run on more platforms than Lua:  0
