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.

Lua is the real abomination.  You have to explicitly declare variables local or else they're global.  That is the definition of fucked up.

Also, library support in Lua is nonexistent.  Good luck with that web thing though.
