My experience with Lua is only writing Redis scripts.
Maybe I'm pampered, but I found its lack of editor support is off-putting. I juggle between different languages (I'm writing a "full stack" book about building mobile apps, https://opinionatedlaunch.com https://opinionatedlaunch.com), so I always need auto-complete when coding.
Edit: FYI I use IntelliJ with Lua support, and I'm comparing it relative to other languages that I also use (Java/Scala, Dart, Python, JS)

(Or maybe it does, when you install the aforementioned language server)
- klibertp 2y ago> In other words, you don't like Lua, because your favorite IDE doesn't properly support it? That's normal. Many - perhaps most - programmers lack appropriate mental tools to compare languages meaningfully. They instead use any kind of heuristic they find useful at the time. The never-ending discussions that mistake familiarity with readability are another example of this mechanism.
