I mean, Lua is a pretty "interesting" choice for that application, but don't blame shitty coding practices and inexperienced coders on the language.

The gigantic loop could have been cleaned up with a table, registering handlers for the individual cases.

Lua is probably not the best choice for a web service, but it definitely has its applications.

    There's a Lua module for Nginx, and in particular OpenResty bundles those two. Lua is snappy as hell, especially in the LuaJIT variant, and uses very little memory — so when it's paired with Nginx, one could probably run a performant web app on a toaster.
