> we want Lua to be the language we want it to be, not to be the most popular language in the world I don’t agree with all the design decisions made by the Lua team, but I deeply respect this philosophy. It’s clear that Lua has certain guiding principles and that its design team sticks to them, leading to a cohesive and predictable language. Compare this to Python, JavaScript etc, whose designers just seem to add as many features as possible, with no regard to how well they mesh with the rest of the language.
