Then in your documentation and training material, emphasize basic
no-nonsense Lua style. (Including 'if obj != NULL' etc)

No problem if beginners don't use the shortest possible code -
programming is not golf ;)

As long as they know about indentation (and there are some
pretty-printing Lua scripts out there). Otherwise, I find it hard to
read code.  Maybe Guido had a point?
