I wouldn't jump to a whole different language just to have an elegant script plan. There must be another reason why Lua is being so widely implemented than elegance and execution performance.<br><br>Anyone?<br><br clear="all">

My question is, what is the benefit of using Lua?<br>

<br></div>
I've never used Lua, but I also have a curiosity about it.<br>
<br>
A couple of years ago, I wrote my first dialplan in AEL. Some bits were clumsy, minor syntax errors caused major parts of my dialplan to disappear, and I discovered a bunch of bugs*.<br>
<br>
But, many parts were elegant. Bits that would have been an ugly mess in 'plain dialplan' seemed obvious and clear.<br>
<br>
I would expect a similar experience with Lua. Kind of an opposite '1984**' experience.<br>
<br>
If you take the jump, please post your experiences.<br>
<br>
*) This was in 1.2 so there was no benefit in reporting the bugs.<br>
<br>
**) In Orwell's 1984, the 'scope' of language was reduced to eliminate the ability to express subversive thoughts.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
