Description

Luerl - an implementation of Lua in Erlang. It's runs as within separate Erlang process within controllable environment (so we could specify only safe functions for global namespace). It will be awesome to have this in CouchDB as additional query server to Javascript / CoffeeScript which could be enabled by default and utilize all Erlang's features and still be safety for custom code execution.

Sure, it could be implemented as standalone CouchDB plugin like GeoCouch, but why not to have batteries included to gather more power?(:
