Key differences between Golang and Lua

Characteristic	Golang	Lua
Syntax	Golang has a C-like syntax with curly braces and semicolons, making it easy for developers familiar with C, C++, or Java to learn.	Lua has a simple and flexible syntax with a focus on readability and ease of use.
Paradigm	Golang is a statically typed, compiled language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.	Lua is a dynamically typed, interpreted language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming paradigms.
Typing	Golang is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at compile time.	Lua is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at runtime.
Performance	Golang is known for its high performance and efficient memory management, making it a popular choice for building scalable and high-performance applications.	Lua is a lightweight language that is designed for embedded systems and scripting, and is not typically used for high-performance applications.
Libraries and frameworks	Golang has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Gin, Echo, and Beego.	Lua has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to other languages, but it is often used as an embedded scripting language in larger applications.
Community and support	Golang has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and development.	Lua has a smaller community compared to other languages, but it is widely used in the game development industry and has a dedicated following.
Learning curve	Golang has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C, C++, or Java.	Lua has a simple and easy-to-learn syntax, making it a good choice for beginners.
