mpv supports both Lua and Javascript scripting, with more or less the same API for both. The wiki lists 10 scripts from the community written in Javascript vs a few hundred written in Lua. There are probably network effects in play; people choose Lua because that allows them to mine snippets of code from a larger collection of userscripts. Even so though, I think it's a testament to Lua. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts
