I don't necessarily hate Lua, but I prefer C and Raylib for game dev. Lua is garbage collected, dynamically typed, strays far from standard syntax patterns, and has less existing tooling than C.

I see why people might hate Lua. Especially for game dev!

Lua is extremely popular for game dev though?
