You mean Lua isn't just World of Warcraft addon writers anymore?

Writing macro scripts and later addon creation were a big inspiration for me to learn how to program in the first place years ago.

I really like how great of a teaching language Lua is, but it pollutes the community with a bunch of annoying kids. Though it does stimulate the creation of a lot of good libraries.

That's not C specific though they do that for everybody.

I fucking love Lua, hence it being my favorite language. That doesn't mean I think it's perfect, or don't have a few problems with it. The second one I named is particularly annoying in my opinion; the lack of really commonly needed functions (i.e. table copying, table concatenation, many math functions) means that it's both harder to use for its intended purpose and results in a lot of redundant code among various libraries where everyone uses their own implementation of those functions.
