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
Hi Tim
I'm not even a programmer let alone a web programmer but since I heard
that professional electricians electrocute themselves more often then
amateurs I'll fire away anyhow...
Deployment is certainly not as straightforward as PHP. There is
pepperfish: http://www.pepperfish.net/
and sputnik apparently does not need root access for install but for
various reasons these just did not suit me. I am now working on another
approach that might be handy if you don't need an interactive site. I am
very slowly building a database driven site on my computer. I plan on
using wget -R to scrape my own site from localhost and then to upload
everything as static content. This ought to provide lots of deployment
options, ought to be fast and ought to be secure. The database portion
should help me to organize lots of data in a logical manner.
