in a sense, but not in all.

for starters, a programming language is supposed to make the human
side do some work.

every language has tradeoffs.  the Lua authors long made the choice to
favor minimalism, performance and mathematical elegance over
newbie-friendliness and intuitive concepts.

that doesn't mean decisions can't be revised; but this thread hasn't
proposed anything that hasn't been evaluated and rejected several
times already.
