Almost mandatory remark (surprised nobody made it before me... ;-)):
Lua is a (Brazilian) Portuguese word meaning 'moon', not an acronym, so you can avoid 
using the all capitals name. :-)

Would be cool to code in Lua for my TV box!
That reminds me that I planned to try and use one Java-based dialect of Lua in a JavaFX 
application. Since JavaFX comes to TV sets, and offers cool graphics, a combination with 
Lua scripts can be interesting. But I don't know if there are limitations of the Java 
versions on TVs, like there are in mobile phones.
