Hi, all,

Dubious methodology, but Lua came in at No. 2 in "the top 20 GitHub
programming languages ranked by the amount of confusion they seem to
cause developers" as indicated by occurrences of "WTF?" in code
comments.

On the other hand, it didn't make the top 10 most hated programming
languages. Read together and assuming validity of both methods, one
might infer that Lua developers enjoy their confusion more than
developers using at least 10 other programming languages.

Citing a commenter here for reasoning:
"One of the reasons why Lua is #2 is probably that World of Warcraft stores its configuration in a directory called WTF..."

Cheers,
