My feeling with Lua is that it's lacking arrays due to minimalism, as in "we don't need arrays because tables will do". Probably the same reason why there is no "continue" in a for-loop. In comparison, Ruby has arrays and hashes, and gives me the feeling "yes these do exactly what you expected, but wait there is more!" In that sense it does feel more like a Swiss army knife.
