Since y’all love LUA so much, what’s it’s advantage over things like micropython?
Pain and suffering (aka an arrays base index is one)
Some features of the MediaWiki engine run on Lua, too!
Luanti (formerly Minetest) and LÖVE. Oh, and TIC-80

Don’t forget the Silverbullet users.
Does anyone genuinely like the language on its own merits? Lua is an excellent alternative to other interpreted langs like Python or JS.
Yes. Although it’s actually a very good alternative, it suffers from a lack of community. Its use can be increased with a global community and localized communities.
World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!
