Are you shure about this?

[Joachim Zobel <jz...@heute-morgen.de>]

Hi.

To my surprise several people just expressed the opinion that LUA should
be part of the apache core in the long run. Could you explain for what
purposes you want to do  this? Writing apache modules? 

Also I would actually like to have a scripting language (for DOM
manipultion in the libxml2 wrapper I am doing) for my purposes too, it
somehow "feels wrong". 

Sincerely,
Joachim

So you want a higher level language because doing said things in C is no
fun. You could have moved those parts to C++ years ago. But the higher
level feature I have missed most (besides reasonable string handling)
when doing apache modules in C is the ability to dynamically create
functions. Thats the point, right?

Do you know where to find LUA developer resources?
One thing I could never find for years was CVS or SVN.
I might be looking at the wrong places. Does something
like that exist?

Nope. Right in the core.  I would suspect it will work best as a 'logic'
control type thing, driving how a request is handled, and handling
complex configuration logic.
