Its been about a week since I started using lua. I found it to be filled with surprises. The concept of starting indexing with 1 is pathetic. The fact that getn on a table does a linear scan and need not be correct. I would not suggest lua to anyone. Once you learn lua you have to unlearn lot of things before you can move to a real programming language.
Starting with scripting language is good. Python is a good choice, cross platform and can be learnt in small increments. Only issue with python is lack of strict variable mode resulting in bugs which are hard to debug.
