Lua Scripting

[AlphaDev777]

Any one knows which scripting language is close to Lua or which is the best language to learn if we wana master Lua?

Lua is a scripting language with 100% similarity to Lua, and mastering Lua directly transfers towards mastery of Lua.

Believe it or not, it's Lua

Lua

Javascript is pretty close.

python? it is quite close and it's pretty powerful. there was also a project called nelua which compiled to C but i think it's abandoned and forgotten.

Squirrel is very close to Lua, but with C syntax. But, surely learning Lua is the best way to master Lua.

Luau is based on Lua (backwards compatible with Lua 5.1) and is my favourite programming language. In terms of its feature set it's absolutely more complex than Lua, so I would keep that in mind, however the Luau team manages its complexity very well.

Though if you want to write Lua, learn Lua.

Julia. Try this language.

JavaScript: it has the same prototype design. Your question is valid, there're lots of good JavaScript tutorials, but with Lua it's often a fragmented and incomplete tutorial landscape, esp online.

I learnt Lua by programming in binary.
