It is designed to be very, very human readable, and coding noob friendly

As someone who can't wrap my head around lua syntax, I will have to assume I simply have too much coding experience

    I know what you mean lol, but Lua is very noob friendly... it goes fairly far out of its way to make many common functions and data types as compatible with each other as possible... so thats another way it is generally more slow, but also more forgiving, won't just totally error out and be frustrating to a beginner coder.

    Yeah, I remember using LUA back in the day for gmod.

    Hands down one of the shittiest languages I ever touched, right down there with PHP.

    Really puts into perspective how stupid developers can be when deciding the tools that they use.
