I love Lua, it's one of my favorite languages to write code in. It's small and simple, but you can do so much with the few things it offers. Really well designed imho. I also like MoonScript[1] a lot, a language that compiles to Lua. I use it even more than Lua because I prefer its brevity and it solves one design problem that I (and many others) see in Lua: in Lua variables are global by default, but local by default in MoonScript.

moonscript seems not under active development since 2017, last release 0.5.0 was 2016 and never reached 1.0, which is very unfortunate.

  Yes, this is unfortunately true. There's a spiritual, mostly compatible, successor that is under active development: https://yuescript.org/ https://yuescript.org/
