About
Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP, also known as "classic" ASP) is a server-side scripting language and dynamic web page engine. It was developed by Microsoft from 1996 to 2000 and now superseded by ASP.NET.
Lua is a lightweight scripting language designed primarily for embedded use in applications.
It features a small core written in C/C++, automatic memory management, fast execution through a simple virtual machine, a flexible table-based data model, and a standard library that fits in a few hundred kilobytes, making it suitable for games, embedded systems, and extensible software.
