Lua: (almost) as minimalistic as Scheme while retaining most of its power, with a very nice syntax, really fast VM, and great community

Just curious, what don't you like about Lua? (I think I read that they use 1-based (instead of 0-based) array indexing. That seems like it might be annoying.)

Edit: Why can't I speak english? Of course I meant something more like, "Are there any features of Lua that you don't particularly care for?"

Lua looks good to me. I was trying to see the performance benchmark from the shootout link, but it's down. I'm pretty sure I put Lua along with python. Docs/libraries are great, but is on the slower side. Lua is on my list to learn :)
