Lua is a bit weird and I think it's actually the strong point in favour of Lua (besides the obvious: nice performance and great portability). We need more variability to explore different ways to achieve our goals and to suit widest range of preferences. I'd love to see a big and strong standard library for the language to see it used for wider variety of tasks.
In my extremely limited experience with Lua, the only thing that I definitely didn't like was its weak-ish dynamic typing, so I'd been keeping my eye on tl[1] and wu-lan[2] which both transpile to Lua for a while.
