Scripting languages

Scripting language:
Lua or Python?

It depends, what are you trying to do with it?

In my opinion, if you're going to be doing general purpose programming, then Python. Otherwise, I've tended to use Lua to add scripting environments to programs, especially mobile ones.

general scripting: perl > ruby > python
embedded: lua > tcl

but honestly they're all the fucking same

also python is a pile of shit because it has no cpan, which is almost required for a general use scripting language. also _____fioc_____. if you care enough about syntax to make it affect your decision, go ruby
