I tried to get into Lua, but with issues with installing LuaRocks and the library I was using, LuaFileSystem, I wasn't all that impressed. This could most likely be the library I was using or I didn't give it enough time. So, could you go into more detail about Lua's flexibility and transparency and what is it that you grokked about the few basic mechanisms? What about library support? It seemed that LuaRocks was the most popular module manager and it didn't seem to have that many libraries, and some seemed to be orphaned. My question is if you have experience with this or is this a mischaracterization of things? I wanted to start out using Lua as a scripting language which may not be a good fit, but it seemed more compelling than other languages I was looking into.
