Maybe you're right about this not being the best title, but the emphasis is on the Lua programming language.

Lua has a pretty nice performance btw. LuaJIT doesn't have as much backing as V8 or SpiderMonkey and still easily outperforms both of them. I think it's a bit sad that it isn't used in place of Java. Even if you don't like the bare language it'd be nice, if you could have something fast to base another language (there are many language implementations btw, not just Moonscript btw.) on. I wonder if it wouldn't make a nice "bytecode" for a VM, but I am really not into language design.
