This is really timely article for me. I just chose to use Lua in a brand new project (https://github.com/Hyperspace-Logistics/heart https://github.com/Hyperspace-Logistics/heart) and lot of the criticism so far has been “why Lua?” Personally I think it’s very capable language. It’s such a comfortable scripting language that I think nearly anybody could pick it up and get up to speed pretty quickly. LuaJIT is also ridiculously powerful and so satisfyingly stable (Lua 5.1 for over a decade). Heck Lua 5.1 even makes an excellent transpile target so you might not even need to use Lua to appreciate the software that runs Lua.
