Reasons for a Web Developer to use Lua?

[Tim Johnson <tim@...>]

I've been a programmer for 24 years. I have a background (way back)
in C and Assembler and about a dozen other languages. These days I
do primarily web development using python. There might be a market
for me for mobile devices. 

I would welcome sincere comments on whether lua might be useful for
me. I don't mean to troll for an argument or a language war, but
just to see if there might be practical application for me to learn
lua.

Thanks
