 		<h1>Why Luan?</h1>
 
-		<p>Luan is designed for simplicity and readability.  What makes its extreme simplicity possible is that it is a pure scripting language as Ousterhout envisioned in his paper <a href="scripting.pdf">Scripting: Higher Level Programming for the 21st Century</a> (1998).  Luan is tightly coupled with Java, with Luan for scripting (writing applications) and Java for writing libraries.  Compare this to a language like Python.  While Python is a nice language, it is optimal neither for scripting nor for writing libraries.  Python sits in the middle as a compromise.  Ousterhout's vision is to use the optimal tool for each task.  Luan is an uncompromising scripting language while Java is ideal for writing libraries.</p>

 		<p>Luan rejects the complexity of modern software.  It is mature software that I have been using for years for web programming.  Whether Luan will appeal to you depends on who you are.  So I will address different groups of people.</p>
