Yes, I hate modern bloated, overcomplicated software, and much prefer simpler software that adheres to the UNIX philosophy.

I'm not quite sure what this has to do with software being western, though. I'm also not quite sure what the appeal of Luan is over just using C. Is there some reason I would want to use something based on Java instead?

Different languages serve different purposes. UNIX Shell is better for the command line than C is, for example. C is for low level programming. Java is for application libraries. Luan is for application programming, particularly web development. I like Java for its purpose (ignoring the horrible later additions to Java).

Modern western culture overcomplicates everything, not just programming. Modern software is just one example of the horrible output of modern western culture.
