Comments by "Anony Mousse" (@anon_y_mousse) on "Lua's Arrays are Wrong and YOU KNOW IT. (Coding in a Random Language Every Day)" video.
For everyone that has been cursed with writing anything in JavaScript, that is a very cold take, so cold that it almost reaches absolute zero. I would still change a few things in Lua, if I could, and the obvious first thing is 1-based array indices, and the second thing would be using -- for comments instead of #, and the third would be adding increment, decrement, and every single op= operator. And even given all those changes I would want to make not being made, it would still be a better language than what JavaScript currently is.

@uremi. Never heard of it until you mentioned it. Took a look, and it's interesting, and if you're suggesting it because it aims for better sandboxing, then it might well make a better choice than stock Lua for web uses. I'll have to take a look at the code more in depth later, but it built right out of the box, and that's always a good sign.
