But the question du jour is more whether Lua can be used as a good

I think Lua would be a very good first programming language,
I can only speak for myself, but I never really understood object-oriented
programming until I encountered Lua. The reason for this, I think, is
that Lua lets you maintain a reasonably accurate mental picture of
how data is structured in memory.
