I like and use both. I think Lua is a better language and I have a hard time seeing otherwise. Lua has some warts too, it's not about warts, but Lua got enough right from the beginning, is small enough to be crazy fast, and is not continually adding new large features. This is the key thing to me. JavaScript is designed by committee and has too many features in ES6.

That's a good point, Lua is smaller than JS. It does have that going for it.
