Love lua. Luajit is stupid fast and the ffi stuff makes it a snap to integrate with other libraries. You can find Lua in neat places like nginx, redis, tokyotyrant... I dislike the direction python has been going (twisted...i mean asyncio, type annotations, f strings). Lua is like a breath of fresh air. Downsides are small standard library and 1-based indexing shudder.
