Lua is great
People hate on it because they are too psychorigid to switch to lists starting from 1
Burn the heretics!
And Löve 2d developers
Lua is actually a really decent language to work with, and it’s pretty fast too, can compile it to executables, I think it’s great
The comments under this post should be pinned on lua.org. They’re the greatest advertisement for the language
A random Awesome WM user has entered the chat
And BeamNG modders
Also fivem scripting
That’s cool, Multi Theft Auto (SA mod) also used Lua. Helped me learn programming in a fun way
gmod dev
Factorio modders
Dota 2
Luanti (formerly Minetest) and LÖVE. Oh, and TIC-80
OpenMW modders

33€ well spent.

Does anyone genuinely like the language on its own merits? Lua is an excellent alternative to other interpreted langs like Python or JS.
Nah
EDIT: After reading, I stand corrected. Lua is better than Python and JS for many usecases, mainly due to size and portability.
Their versioning is weird though.
I’ll add DCS World modders, thank you to the heroes who brave Lua and the DCS API to bring us obscure planes and helicopters!
Don’t forget the Silverbullet users.
