Thanks!

Lua reminds me of the Commodore 64 days when "all" computers had a
builtin language :-)

Its a fascinating concept. Instead of sending a command, waiting for a
reply, then sending a new command, we can now send a single programlet
that does all the processing on the box. 

Smells a bit like SQL.

*Shudder*!

I'm not throwing C/C++ out of the door yet. :-)
