I started typing a really long response here to address many of the comments I have been reading. In the end, it was becoming a huge wall of text, which is not something that I think this site is suitable for. So, I wrote a blog post about it instead: https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language.html https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language... I'm speaking from the point-of-view of someone who used Lua for games, hardware, and web, in there. I am not an expert in the language, but I feel that many people here are approaching the language with the wrong perspective, and thus are unable to see what makes it great. All I write there is my own personal opinion of course, I'm totally OK if you still hate Lua after reading it, but I'd encourage those here who have criticism about it to double check my article and reach out if they want to talk more about it.
