Hi, list.

Just stumbled upon this little gem.

I'll quote it in full text.

isn't it?)

  If you ask me, the only advantage of Lua, is that it's easy to learn.
  Everything else is disadvantages. If you have choice - avoid it like plague.
  No strict syntax (only procedural parsing of source code is
possible), braindead
  typization, everything defaults to global scope (so-called global polluting),
  slow addressing of global scope, thus you have to localize (reassign) about
  every function and structure you're using in single script...

Brilliant, isn't it?
