JS has more math operators with the exception of (^), and JS has unicode support

Lua is most similar to Visual Basic in terms of syntax.
Lua and JS are both scripting languages. Both are dynamically typed languages (I think you can strongly type variables in JS, though).

JS's syntax more closely resembles C/C++/Java as opposed to Lua.
