Anyone who says it's useless to learn are crappy skids who don't know the first thing about programming.

Just saying.

And "RBX.Lua" is Lua 5.1 with a few things you can't do in ROBLOX obviously and a few additions.

Lua has its place. A good programmer knows when to use what programming language to best solve a task.

The people in the other forum were saying is useless outside of roblox.

I agree. You'll probably never find anybody looking to hire a lua programmer for their company because there are far superior alternatives.

It isn't useless out of ROBLOX. You want to know more than one coding language, period. That doesn't mean it's useless - you need to know when to use what.

Tell me, when would you realistically use lua over another language outside of roblox

Lua has it's Advantages/Disadvantages but it's not useless. You can promptly find all the information you need on lua.org, I'll link a page that explains it's abilities and what it can do for you.

Link:lua.org/about.html
PS:Explore more of the page you may find even more information :).

It's also been mentioned that LUA is the most common used scripting language in game engines(This doesn't really to C++) and is very useful in AI programming for games.

Lua has it's time and place, it won't always be needed.
With that being said C#>C++
