Differences

The following are some key differences between Lisp and Lua.

Characteristic	Lisp	Lua
Syntax	Lisp has a unique syntax that uses a lot of parentheses and prefix notation.	Lua has a simple and familiar syntax that resembles other scripting languages.
Paradigm	Lisp is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming.	Lua is a procedural language that supports some functional programming concepts.
Typing	Lisp is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.	Lua is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Lisp is generally slower than other languages due to its dynamic nature and garbage collection.	Lua is generally faster than other scripting languages due to its lightweight design and efficient implementation.
Libraries and frameworks	Lisp has a smaller community and fewer libraries and frameworks compared to other languages.	Lua has a growing community and a variety of libraries and frameworks available.
Community and support	Lisp has a small but dedicated community with active development and support.	Lua has a growing community with active development and support.
Learning curve	Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.	Lua has a relatively easy learning curve due to its simple syntax and procedural programming concepts.
