So just use Lua :-)
You'll get used to its syntax pretty fast.

I wrote a lot of things in Basic (I should say BASIC) in the early '80s 
and, yes, I confess I liked the language. It also was my first exposure 
to garbage collection and it helped a lot in understanding dynamic 
languages many years later, while Pascal-raised people were scratching 
their heads.

Using languages as learning tools for new concepts is better than trying 
to force square pegs into round holes. You'll find that syntax is 
largely irrelevant.
