Not everyone thinks that Lua is great. It's certainly a nice language, and it's popular in some niches, but some people like implicit variable declarations, classes (at times), and comprehensions.
Also, I can see it compiling into JavaScript as well. I'm not sure if that would be a good idea, or a really horrible one, though.
- jacques_chester 15y agoIt's not an acronym, it's an ordinary noun: Lua. My main grudge against Lua purely as a language is that it has implicit global variables. I can live with the rest of the idiosyncracies. My main grudge in day-to-day programming is the ecosystem, it's very small. It's a chicken-and-egg thing.
