Hmm, now the next step is to replace JS with Lua entirely... ;-)

that would be very interesting.

in fact, I have been considering a similar work for a while.

but how come that I had not noticed the luakit project before!
I will see into luakit now.

but my idea is a bit different in that I am not planning to replace js with lua,
but to support both js and lua to do DOM scripting at the same.

considering some code like this:

------------------ code begin -------------------------
<script type="text/lua">
    getElementById("my DOM element")._onclick_ = function (self)
        alert "Bang!!!"
    end
</script>

<script type="text/_javascript_" src=""></script>
------------------- code end ---------------------------

wouldn't that be interesting?
