Lua is basically the same as JS in this department: A few bad decisions spoils the whole for some people. If you compare lua to js at the same time period they would seem similar in quality to many programmers up until the js renaissance (starting at it's very first in 1999 with ajax and really took off around the early/mid 2010's). If lua had gotten the same attention as JS got it's not hard to see it going the other way around.
- notyourday 7y agoJS at least got its act together. LUA seems to practice answering "How many Microsoft Engineers does it take to change a lightbulb" question with the "None. Microsoft document darkness as the industry standard" https://www.lua.org/pil/19.1.html https://www.lua.org/pil/19.1.html
- SahAssar 7y agoI'm not sure if JS is much better for example: const a = [] const b = '' const c = {} c[a] = 'a' c[b] = 'b' console.log(c[a]) console.log(c[b]) But my point was more that if lua had been given the same amount of development it would probably have turned out as good, It hasn't, so comparing current day-lua with current day-js does not really work.
