        Yes, he is quite impressive.  I haven't watched the q&a,
        yet, so I haven't seen how he dealt with the audience.  And yes,
        there are always tradeoffs.  In my case, security probably
        trumps speed, so lua is still attractive.

    Hi Holly 
     
    BTW, I think when Roberto was saying Lua is not good for numeric
    computations he probably meant in comparison to C and Fortran in the
    context of super-computing. To my knowledge  Lua does not have a
    quality issue in terms of math but being dynamically typed it will
    have a quantity penalty, compared to statically typed languages.
