@jackolas don't really have time to explain this right nowin short: Lua is better because it doesn't have so many moving partseg. Lua's module system is much simpler and more flexible, a file is just a function and it has a return value like all functions, so you just return a table from itcompare this to Python which has special syntax for modules

@jackolas which is super annoying because it makes every top-level definition publicin Lua, I could easily use local definitions as private upvalues of a function exported by a module

@grainloom I follow if you gotta go don't worry about it; what scale of thing are you writing that this is a benefit to you? Thanks for the different perspective.

@jackolas it varies, but the scale doesn't matter, if your language is too big to keep all of it in mind at the same time, it's too bigLua I've pretty much learned inside outPython, hecc, I always find new stuff about it and that's a bad thing for me. I don't want weird parts of the stdlib or the language affecting my code
