Key differences between Pascal and Lua

CharacteristicPascalLua
SyntaxPascal has a more structured and verbose syntax compared to Lua.Lua has a simpler and more flexible syntax compared to Pascal.
ParadigmPascal is primarily a procedural programming language with support for object-oriented programming.Lua is a lightweight scripting language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming paradigms.
TypingPascal is a statically typed language, meaning variable types are checked at compile-time.Lua is a dynamically typed language, meaning variable types are checked at runtime.
PerformancePascal is known for its efficient performance and is often used for system-level programming.Lua is designed for simplicity and ease of use, sacrificing some performance compared to languages like Pascal.
Libraries and frameworksPascal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Lua.Lua has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, making it easier to find existing solutions for various tasks.
Community and supportPascal has a smaller community and less active support compared to Lua.Lua has a larger and more active community, with extensive online resources and active development.
Learning curvePascal has a steeper learning curve due to its more structured syntax and stricter typing.Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easier for beginners to get started.
