> Bummer, I like lua a lot.  But I understand the move to python, since it has a least two orders of magnitude more developers and users.  I'm disappointed that python still does not have integrated NumPy support "out of the box".   The progress on NumPY has been painfully slow (first Numarray, then Numeric, then Numpy).  I wish they would just get it solid and get a PEP going and include it already.  This is one of the reasons I got interested in lua - small, fast, easy to interface with C, no dependencies....

I liked lua too, but the pressure for python was quite high ;-)
