It makes no difference in the world how "easy" Lua is to learn, "no
learning required" will always beat "easy to learn" hands down
every single time.
That's just marketing! Configuring the server is not a "no learning
required" activity, particularly if you are using mod_rewrite!

Graham's point is, I think, that for most setups, although ugly, the
config does not require a lot of thought. Compare, for example,
a "typical" Apache config to sendmail's sendmail.cf file :)
