[Freeswitch-users] [Freeswitch-dev] Seeking collaborators for FreeSWITCH/Lua scripting toolkit

[Michael Jerris]

Lua is likely to be by far the most efficient of any scripting language
used in FreeSWITCH, if there is still really a concern about performance,
more pieces can be moved to helpers built out in c code.  If you are
looking for dynamic but still optimal performance, lua is likely your best
bet
