For me, it isn't 100% language warts. It is the customer experience that matters the most for me. Can I compile and ship my products to my customers without having them to install a VMs, container runtime or a language runtime? That the question that is critical for me.

I agree, I think that you must really like golang and how easy it can make cross compilation and how fast it is to build.

Golang has one of the best developer experiences and there are only very very few minor nitpicks I might have of the language but the whole ecosystem on packaging software and what not is just so easy and I love golang.

This is the primary reason Lua is interesting to me. As high level as JS/Python but embeddable.

Only problem is I have language ADHD. I use way too many to pick up another like Lua.
