[Freeswitch-users] Javascript vs Lua

[Michael Collins]

Use Lua. It's easy to learn, it's lightweight, and it scales WAY WAY better
than JavaScript/Spidermonkey. In the amount of time it will take you to
debug an esoteric js error you can learn Lua. In fact, chapter 7 of the FS
book has a nice, gentle intro to Lua. (Full disclosure: I authored chapter
7 of the FreeSWITCH book. I am unabashedly biased in favor of Lua.)
