"Lua OS is - or aspires to become - two things: 1) a first-class modern Linux distribution for the desktop that you can use every day for everything you want to do with your computer - and something that is always offering enjoyment. 2) a next-generation, orthogonally persistent operating system for portable, manageable and secure scripting code. The Lua OS project is spearheaded by Stefan Reich who deserted from Google Inc. in 2008 in order to pursue much greater visions."

1 more linux distro?
I club a baby seal every time I see "another linux distro". Just how many does the world really need? Please save the baby seals 
On another note, If they are not just another disro with the GNU userland, then I'm all for it and that baby seal that I'm eying might just survive

Is this a response to http://ipython.org/ and their Python-based shell?

I tried looking for more details about this, but the website reads as if it were written by someone with ADHD.
From what I can gather, it's a Linux distro that uses Java/Swing for its GUI, or something like that. There was also something about sandboxing...
Reading http://forum.luahub.com/index.php?topic=3261.msg7400#msg7400 makes me wonder if there's a specific goal beyond making a "Linux distribution that is awesome and uses Lua for a lot of stuff."
I like Lua so I wish the project well and hope the enthusiasm lasts at least until a 1.0 release.

You mean this website?

Yes, it does sound just as crazy as you said and then some....
But, I think its wxwidgets rather than swing actually.

He wrote "We're now at 0.6, and it's generating quite a fuzz over at the lua-l mailing list. They complain about Java being part of the system. But hey, we need a GUI. And it's just what works best. Swing, tested and tried."
This was after he wrote "[wxLua] is weird. Can't get stuff to work and no proper docs. I think I'll be trying VCLua next. That looks nice and simple and it works on both Windows and Linux."
Maybe Swing and wxLua/VCLua are for different parts of LuaOS. It's a bit hard to follow!
