On: WebScript.io: Just choose a URL and type in a script. No servers, no deployment

As far as I'm aware, Python is vastly more popular for scripts than Lua. At first, I assumed you were just Lua guys, but apparently you're a Python fan as well, at least to some degree.

I imagine it must have to do with easy of sandboxing or something, but why Lua over Python for scripts?

[smarx → rattray]

Python's my language of choice just in terms of language features, but Lua is significantly ahead in terms of embedding and sandboxing.
