Question to elite Lua scripters: Do you know any other languages? Did knowing those help you learn Lua? Was Lua quite similar to the language you learnt?

*learned

C# confused me with the curly brackets and blah blah blah.
Python, on the other hand, did indeed reinforce my understanding of methods and also taught me to always tab my code.

^ yeah Amurica is a cool county, I've heard a lot about it. When people speak of Amurica, though, they also associate it with this term called communism (I need to check my textbook to find out what it means, sorry!)

Do you need to learn Lua?

I learned Lua around 2009; I don't know it anymore, as I no longer play Roblox.
I have switched to JavaScript and Python, and I do not regret that decision in the slightest. They both have very distinct uses. I can do nearly anything in JavaScript, from creating websites to building .hta applications (and their Linux/Mac equivalents) and mobile platforms using an SDK (such as the Intel XDK). I do homework and "quick fixes" in Python. For me, Lua no longer serves a purpose. It is a good language to play with, and it has a few practical applications (Roblox, LÖVE, and Gideros). However, it has less support than other languages and requires downloads or Internet access to use.

If you don't need Lua for Roblox, I'd recommend sticking with Python and C++. Otherwise, read through some scripts in the public domain/free models. There are no secrets; it's really just syntax.
