Congrats to the author, but I really can't stand Lua. It takes its commitment to simplicity too far IMO, especially with regards to tables not really specifying between (in Python terms) "dict-like" and "list-like" tables. Recursively searching through a table of tables can for this reason be annoyingly difficult.

Every time I write it, I find myself wanting a language with just a few more batteries included.
