Differences

The following are some key differences between Lua and Ruby.

Characteristic	Lua	Ruby
Syntax	Lua has a simple and lightweight syntax that is easy to learn and use.	Ruby has a more complex syntax than Lua, but it is still relatively easy to learn and use.
Paradigm	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.	Ruby is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming, with a strong emphasis on object-oriented programming.
Typing	Lua is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.	Ruby 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 a popular choice for game development and other performance-critical applications.	Ruby is generally slower than Lua, but it is still fast enough for most applications.
Libraries and frameworks	Lua has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Ruby, but it still has a number of useful libraries and frameworks for various purposes.	Ruby has a large ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including the popular Ruby on Rails web framework.
Community and support	Lua has a smaller community compared to Ruby, but it still has an active and supportive community.	Ruby has a large and active community with many resources and support options available.
Learning curve	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, especially for programmers with experience in other scripting languages.	Ruby has a moderate learning curve, with a syntax that may take some time to get used to.
