Re:Should Apache replace its current httpd.conf with Lua?

Given the complexity to which apache and its ecosystem has grown and the consequences for screwing up this configuration task, this seems quite similar to sendmail in that I think a reasonable argument can be made that casual users should not be configuring this particular system. Period.

You can make that argument, but reality is that casual users do configure apache so it ends up becoming a concern of the developers whether they want it to be or not.
Like I said, in the long run, it might be better to make the switch, but a change can cause significant risk/inconvenience to casual users or users who have such complicated configurations it would require significant time to replicate in another format.
