note: i've been doing lua for two decades and am well familiar with the language itself as well as its inner workings (far less so with python), and i've been building distro tooling for almost as long, and no, definitely not

I do enjoy Lua, what I miss the most is a more complete and direct interface to POSIX - possibly as a compile-time option, to accommodate the existing embedded use cases.

What would you say is its biggest shortcoming?
