> So far I have spent 6 months in Rust and my old tool looks like a toy. How did I ever live without iterators, algebraic data types, the safety of a strong type system, and especially separate types for arrays and hashmaps for god sakes?

I programmed in many languages with similar features (C#, Java, Swift, Objective-C) and programming in Lua is refreshing to me.

In daytime I can deal with doing C# at office, but at home, Lua is more fun to me. Great for hobby projects. Would probably love programming full-time with Lua as well (if I could make money with game dev).
