title: Haxe vs Lua in building a heavy traffic web application
body: <p>After spending a couple of hours reading on Lua and Haxe I am still unsure of which would be a better choice to use on the development of a heavy traffic web application. </p>
  
  <p>Which one would give us better server performance if our web-app will be working heavily on the server's side? We also want to keep server's resources at a minimum to avoid suffering heavy lag spikes.  </p>
  
  <p>Our first thought was using Java/Spring/Hibernate but we read about how it drains a server's resources fast as its usage grows, so we are trying to figure out an architecture that would allow us to handle heavy traffic and give out a good user experience efficiently on the server's side.</p>
  
  <p>By heavy traffic we are talking of 500+ users at the same time requesting data back and forth from our servers.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions outside Lua and Haxe are also appreciated and will be taken into consideration.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time in reading this. =)</p>
