      @scottalanmiller suggested, nay demanded, a new tradition be started of writing palindrome checkers in various languages, here's the thread:

      http://mangolassi.it/topic/3833/palindrome-checking-with-php

      Here is Lua:

      io.write("Your palindrome is: ")
      pal=io.read()
      if pal == string.reverse(pal) then
      	print("It's good.");
      else
      	print("Fail");
      end

          @scottalanmiller Are we a Lua fan or was that some sort of erotic thing I inadvertently took part in? 😛

            Never worked with Lua, wanted to see it in action 🙂

              Lua is a nice language to work in.

              I use it with the EverQuest emulator project I sometimes participate in developing for.

              One of the main devs on the project implemented Lua a couple years ago and I like it a LOT better than the way Perl was implemented for the project.

                @JaredBusch It reminds me a lot of Java meets BASIC, with a dash of Pascal. It's not a bad language, but I prefer C-style languages, my brain just works better with them. Lua is a decent language though.

                  Here is an example from the EQEmu project quest files

                    I'm the same way, C-style works with my brain.
