Ask HN: Why is the Lua web / related ecosystem so stagnant?

2 points| jmspring | 1 month ago

I like lua - I've used it in a number of projects over the years. I have been looking at it for web projects. Openresty, LuaJit, APISIX - are sort of active but non. Wasmoon - mostly a throw away project.

Do people use Lua? Do the mostly stick to non-web projects?

It seems like a good cross project scripting language that isn't heavy weight.

why would it be big in web if that is not the reason people use lua?
