Lua's original focus as an embedded language has been a huge handicap here. There's almost no standardization, because each developer builds their own set of libraries based on their needs. It's sort of what server-side javascript looked like before node.js. Lua is in dire need of an opinionated killer platform. Unfortunately, unfamiliarity with the language (vis-a-vis javascript) means that the road to mass adoption is a tougher one. |

Unfortunate especially given that Lua and JavaScript are extremely similar semantically. The difference between {} vs begin/end really does blind people to the all similarities.
