the thing that surprised me is the popularity of Lua 5.1 The usual
answer is because of LuaJIT stagnation, but Lua5.1 bars are
significantly higher than LuaJIT's so i'm not sure it's the main
reason.
maybe it's commonly considered a "good enough" version and so there's
little pressure to update? or is there any big application that uses
it and tips the scale?
what doesn't surprise is the low score of Lua5.2 I think 5.3 is much
more attractive.
