This was picked as the official scripting language for the Neuros OSD (Open Source Device). Decided it would be a good idea to learn it... but never actually wrote any scripts for the OSD in Lua.

The only language I know that starts counting at 1.

I just learned Lua recently. So far it's interesting, and the syntax and structure is very different than what I'm used to. I'm still trying to figure out what I might want to use it for that I wouldn't prefer to do in Python, other than places where Lua is embedded and the only option.

Used it for game programming for a startup. Fun stuff but haven't needed to use it since.
