It's a shame that Java (and JavaScript) replaced the "Lua with C/C++/whatever" approach. JavaScript is incredibly hard to write in a "correct" way. It has way too many quirks and an incredibly complex tooling system (npm, etc.).
Lua is pretty much a "minimal" language which gets things done. It's not perfect, but it certainly doesn't suffer from the bloat which many other languages have.

This is just a much better approach than 'npm all the things' .. although Lua isn't without its warts: LuaJIT, LuaRocks, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 ..
