hum; above _javascript_?  doesn't seem too much rooted in reality.

maybe it's a wishlist and not an index? :-)

It appears to be due to the fact that Lua has 21.565% of the Youtube rankings of *all the languages* (No language filter?), and _javascript_ only has 0.993%.  The Youtube rankings carry an 8.4% weight in the total, and the confidence ratio for both languages is 100% - every result counts. The 1-year Google results make more sense, 2.5% for JS and 0.473% for Lua.
