Characteristic	Ruby	Lua
Syntax	Ruby has a more natural language-like syntax, with a focus on readability and ease of use.	Lua has a simpler syntax, with a focus on minimalism and flexibility.
Paradigm	Ruby is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming.	Lua is a procedural language with some support for object-oriented programming.
Typing	Ruby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.	Lua is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	Ruby is generally slower than other languages due to its dynamic nature and garbage collection.	Lua is generally faster than Ruby due to its lightweight design and lack of garbage collection.
Libraries and frameworks	Ruby has a large and active community with many libraries and frameworks available, including Ruby on Rails.	Lua has a smaller community and fewer libraries and frameworks available, but still has some useful options such as LÖVE for game development.
Community and support	Ruby has a large and active community with many resources available for learning and support.	Lua has a smaller community, but still has some resources available for learning and support.
Learning curve	Ruby has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on readability and ease of use.	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, with a simple syntax and minimalistic design.
