I've never seen Python or Lua community do that so far. Back then, wasn't it readable Python versus unreadable Perl?

- moomin 9y agoYou have a point. Python was definitely pitched as a perl replacement. We forget because it pretty much won. Lua has it's own problems, of course, but I don't see it as a language developed as a consequence of frustrations with another.
- kibwen 9y agoLua was developed for legal reasons: huge tariffs on foreign software meant that Brazilian companies often found it cheaper to develop custom toolchains, which is what gave us Lua.
