It's definitely not a primary language for me. Not one of those "do everything" tools, but it has it's place. Almost like that weird screw driver you use on faucets. Most people never need one, but the second you do, it's a nice thing to have.
I don't agree. Lua as a programming language has all it takes : garbage collection, iterators, lambdas, speed, simple but powerful types...
It just lacks a better standard library to be able to "do more".
Lua is definitely not limited as a language. I find that it's focus on being a configuration language to create some not so desirable synthetic choices.
I would probably much rather write a parser for Lua than yaml though.
