Key differences between Tcl and Lua

Characteristic	Tcl	Lua
Syntax	Tcl has a simple and flexible syntax with commands and arguments separated by spaces.	Lua has a minimalistic and lightweight syntax with a focus on simplicity and readability.
Paradigm	Tcl is primarily a procedural language but also supports object-oriented programming.	Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.
Typing	Tcl is dynamically typed, meaning variable types are determined at runtime.	Lua is dynamically typed, allowing variables to hold values of any type.
Performance	Tcl is known for its simplicity and ease of use, but it may not be as performant as some other languages.	Lua is designed for performance and efficiency, making it a popular choice for embedded systems and game development.
Libraries and frameworks	Tcl 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 support	Tcl has a smaller community and less active support compared to Lua.	Lua has a larger and more active community, with extensive documentation and support available.
Learning curve	Tcl has a relatively steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts.	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easier for beginners to grasp.
