The fact that enough game companies don't find languages like Lua useful says that there is something Lua is missing that it shouldn't be. All that I can really think of tho is a) *real* multi-tasking,
nope
and b) a more newbie-friendly syntax.
you must be joking?In my case Lua finds itself only being used for configuration, and only in the one-third of the game I coded. The reason we don't use it in the main loop is lack of a gc suitable for real-time apps. The reason the other programmers don't use it is a little stubbornness mixed with lack of Japanese documentation :-). The Lua manual is short but essential reading nonetheless!
