Lua anyone?

Anyone know or used a scripting language called Lua well enough to make some comparisons to other languages like python or ruby? kthnxbye

Who can even hate on Ruby.  It's only downside is that it's slow.  Otherwise it's very powerful.  Soon as 2.0 comes out and it gets bytecode action, Earth is over.  Especially Java.

I have messed with Python, it's not bad.  Ruby is similar.  Overall I'd prefer Ruby, but Python is good too.

I like Lua's open-endedness but I have yet to fuck with that shit.  There's too many programming languages in the world.
