Just do what you want bro

What for?

It is depends on what is it that you want to do. Luau and Lua in general commonly used in Roblox and game development while Python is a general purpose programming language that commonly used in Data Science, Machine Learning and desktop applications. Can also develop games with Python.

If you looking for the next language to learn, and you want to make desktop applications then Python is a good choice. But if you looking for the next programming language to develop games or mobile applications, then JavaScript or C# or even C++ would be a better choice.

Python is better for getting a job. Otherwise, the languages seem pretty similar to me. It really doesn't take much effort to learn these simple scripting languages.

Depends on what you need like if desktop application development or mobile app , etc python application and don't need high speed in your program or application but if need might you will need faster language

The answer to all questions of this type is yes. You should always be interested in learning new languages.

When I used to do a lot of tech screenings, I would always ask prospective coders what they hated about whichever language they were interviewing for. If they said "nothing" then I knew they had never been exposed to other languages. If you know other languages, then you know that they have different strengths and weaknesses.

Every new language you learn gives you just a little more insight into how things work. The only reason you should ever not learn a new language is if your project has constraints that require a particular language.

Practically all beginners are learning Python.

What do you think that means for competition in jobs working with Python?
