It's crazy that Lua gets a bad rap. At the end of the day, it's a key language for the industry, and not just for MMORPGs.

I don't think it gets a bad rap so much as that it's just not well-known outside a few niches. (FWIW: I'm not in the game industry. I work with high-performance rendered graphics, though, so there are similar concerns.)

(Also, MIT license, not BSD.)
