Web Development in Lua

Is it possible or advisable? It seems to me that all of the languages traditionally used for server side scripting (Python, PHP, Perl) are fucking abominations. According to Google, there is a mod_lua out there.

Possible
Um, duh?

Advisable
Depends on numerous factors. If it's a personal project, do whatever the fuck you want. If it's a business project, you need to take your business considerations into account.

Because Lua is extremely lightweight, simple, and designed perfectly for embedding with C. Therefore, it is a good scripting language on its merits.
