Yeah I've been skeptical of nginx's Lua support in the past. I guess I discounted it because it was a relatively unknown feature and Lua is obviously not nearly as popular as JavaScript. I don't know of any production service written exclusively in Lua, though I'm sure there are some.
So yes while this is just a continuation of a bad idea, it's a rather substantial continuation. I fear that a lot more people will make use of this than make use of nginx's Lua support.
