That seems definitely accurate. From my limited experience it certainly seems Lua has the more minimalistic approach, although that must have been a conscious decision on the part of the authors. I like how built-in functions can be 'overriden' (more like replaced) to be made more restrictive to create a sandboxed environment. I agree I can't think of any good reason for the one-based indexing, it seems to be a bit of a gimmick :)
