I'll add DCS World modders, thank you to the heroes who brave Lua and the DCS API to bring us obscure planes and helicopters!
Lua is great
People hate on it because they are too psychorigid to switch to lists starting from 1
Burn the heretics!
The comments under this post should be pinned on lua.org. Theyβre the greatest advertisement for the language
Does anyone genuinely like the language on its own merits? Lua is an excellent alternative to other interpreted langs like Python or JS.
Nah
EDIT: After reading, I stand corrected. Lua is better than Python and JS for many usecases, mainly due to size and portability.
Their versioning is weird though.
Lua is actually a really decent language to work with, and it's pretty fast too, can compile it to executables, I think it's great
And BeamNG modders
Also fivem scripting
That's cool, Multi Theft Auto (SA mod) also used Lua. Helped me learn programming in a fun way
Factorio modders
Lua is a super underrated language. The standard implementation is under 500kb and it can run almost anywhere. Including inside other programs and on embedded systems that dont even have an OS.

The one time I used lua was to make a casino in Minecraft with the ComputerCraft mod like, over a decade ago. I enjoyed it. Even as a young lad I didn't like index from 1, though

OpenMW modders

To me, Lua will always be the WoW plugin language.

Except the poor people stuck with C# when modding unity games.
As a former Lightroom plugin developer I feel erased!
Dont forget OpenComputers users! Theres gotta be five of us by now.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
(I am trying to set up an mail system on my server using modems and am suffering help)
I was sick and tired of not having full remote storage access after losing logistics pipes, we had refined storage and a computercraft peripheral mod for it so I wrote a server and client for remotely requesting items to be delivered via ender chest using the computer craft ipads and the computercraft internet. You'd type in a search query and it would display the top 10 items in the network containing that query and how many there were, then you'd pick the one you wanted from that list by entering its index, then you'd enter the quantity

World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!
