What do you think Lua's developers should have done differently?
What stops Lua from being used as a general-purpose scripting language?
- loeg 6y agoI think Lua is most useful because it's a hyper-focused embeddable scripting language. Probably the biggest errors were the historical either/or integer/floating point numbers, and the weird PHP-like hash-tables-are-the-only-first-class-datastructure.
