I use Lua as a general use language and I'm incredibly satisfied. It's an amazing language.
I also need to mention that Lua is the easiest language I've ever encountered, so any competent developer can learn it quickly, it's not alienating anyone.
Given that, I agree that LuaRocks isn't so vast as other languages' repositories and this can be a drawback of using Lua. But why again are you judging a language by it's package manager? If it's a good language wouldn't it be better to suggest more people to write packages instead of suggesting people not to use it?
