Differences

The following are some key differences between Lua and Python.

Characteristic	Lua	Python
Syntax	Lua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn and use.	Python has a clear and concise syntax that emphasizes readability and reduces the cost of program maintenance.
Paradigm	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.	Python is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.
Typing	Lua is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.	Python is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Lua is known for its fast performance and small memory footprint, making it ideal for embedded systems and game development.	Python is slower than some other languages, but its ease of use and large community make it a popular choice for many applications.
Libraries and frameworks	Lua has a smaller library ecosystem than Python, but it has a strong focus on game development and embedded systems.	Python has a large and diverse library ecosystem that includes many popular frameworks for web development, data analysis, and machine learning.
Community and support	Lua has a smaller community than Python, but it has a dedicated following and active development community.	Python has a large and active community that provides extensive support and resources for developers.
Learning curve	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, with a simple syntax and easy-to-learn concepts.	Python has a low learning curve, with a clear and concise syntax and extensive documentation and resources.
