Bump! Lua is small and sweet. Zed Shaw picked it for his framework, not that unlike Raphters in some ways: http://tir.mongrel2.org/home

Specifically, the luajit implementation is known for being ridiculously fast.

Normal Lua's performance is also quite decent (especially compared to its peers: Python, Ruby, and Perl), and has a very clear path for moving hotspots out to C. LuaJIT's performance is just a bonus. :)
