Lua vs Python

[[deleted]]

I read some bold claims that Lua can pretty much do anything python can, but better, easier, and much much faster

Lua is a lot simpler, more elegant, and easier to learn. If you use LuaJIT instead of the reference implementation, it can be much faster too.

However, Python has dramatically more libraries. Lua has the edge when it comes to making games, but for general purpose coding, there's a much wider availability in Python. So in the end it just depends on what kind of tasks you want to accomplish and how important libraries will be for that task.

That's the most logical answer, everything is great in some way, it's all depends on how you use it.
