> JavaScript for all: no language zoo, you can use one language from your browser to your back-end
Javascript is the only language native to the browser.

Lua is a great language, but JavaScript has become something of a "lingua franca" for web development. ArangoDB's API is based on HTTP and JSON, so JavaScript was an obvious choice.

Yep. I'm afraid if the operating system will write web developers in JavaScript.

Lua is a nicer language, but the sheer number of developers who are familiar with JavaScript gives it a huge edge. I suspect that's the driving reason.

On the other hand, Lua is much easier to embed into programs. And it is used a lot in games. If I remember correctly, Redis is also using Lua for scripting.

I am surprised that nobody mentions the great performance of Google's V8 engine here...
