I program tools for myself in Lua because it is much faster than Perl/Python, takes little space on disk and has a very small memory footprint.
It is a rising language and I am a great fan of it. I liked your post a lot for spreading Lua awareness among new coders
Thanks for this tutorialmiling:

Nice and clean tutorial but you should have give a bit more details .

wow that's a good comparison
but the factors mentioned there are clearly biased. i can write a "b1tch plz" line for every factor he wrote lol.and those "benefits" are killed by the fact that in python you have to indent every line with 4 spaces according to block structure ofcourse. i think that guy never heard about "compressed" and "uncompressed" scripts as in jquery. i do care about 4-8-12-16 spaces per line released with my script in the wild. i dont like this kind of regimentation in development.
python is good when you want to code less and dont want any headache. but SPEED MATTERS imho. idk why google uses python but forcing developers to put indentation is mean.
he didnt post a benchmark there. if someday he sells his script atleast i wont be buying that

Well his factors are correct ( I think )

i dont want to go into an argument with you over this but plz read before replying i didnt say i am "lazy" to put indentation the spaces entered take space on the disk
to say lazy this entire scripting language thing was made by lazy ppl only lol we are all lazy to code in Cand also i didnt say he wrote the factors wrong lol only that they were biased. absence of "continue" doesnt mean inefficient language it's HIS preference to use "continue" instead of running a loop.
Speed matters to me over anything! A little more coding does not matter to me. I don't have reinvent the wheel by coding in C, worship .NET framework in C#/VB, go snail slow in python or have half-baked non-portable code in Perl xD
I want simple fast code with less coding than a native language like Visual C++ with comparatively easier language like scripting. lua gives me all that on both windoze and linux. that's all i want
moke:He is right about the Python's benefits but they cannot outshine Lua. Only that Lua is a new language and does not have so many modules as in Perl or Python.
