Python does it and I hate it for the same multiple
version issue and the black command windows pop and go
reason. Same goes for perl or ruby.

The difference between an exe and a .lua script is
that most exe on windows are application with GUI in
mind. Most .lua scripts are not, they can be modules,
command line tools. In fact, I would say 95% of them
are.
