Key differences between JavaScript and Lua

Characteristic	JavaScript	Lua
Syntax	JavaScript syntax is similar to C++ and Java, with curly braces and semicolons used to delimit blocks and statements. It also has a dynamic type system, which means that variables can hold values of any type without being explicitly declared.	Lua syntax is similar to Pascal and Ada, with keywords and statements separated by semicolons. It also has a dynamic type system, but variables must be explicitly declared with a type.
Paradigm	JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming styles.	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and data-driven programming styles.
Typing	JavaScript has a dynamic type system, which means that variables can hold values of any type without being explicitly declared.	Lua has a dynamic type system, but variables must be explicitly declared with a type.
Performance	JavaScript performance can vary widely depending on the implementation and the environment. It is generally slower than compiled languages like C++ and Java, but faster than interpreted languages like Python and Ruby.	Lua is designed for performance and is often used in embedded systems and video games. It is generally faster than interpreted languages like Python and Ruby, but slower than compiled languages like C++ and Java.
Libraries and frameworks	JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including React, Angular, Vue, Node.js, and many others.	Lua has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it includes popular options like LÖVE for game development and OpenResty for web development.
Community and support	JavaScript has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and development.	Lua has a smaller but dedicated community, with many resources available for learning and development.
Learning curve	JavaScript has a moderate learning curve, with many resources available for beginners but also many advanced concepts to master.	Lua has a relatively easy learning curve, with a simple syntax and a focus on practical programming.
