Scripting is like making a sentence, if everything is in order it's fine, but if it's not, it's broken.

Lua is like writing an essay

If you do it wrong your stuff is screwed up

There are multiple ways to write it and do the same thing

Some ways of writing it are better than others

Long essays and scripts don't always mean the best or worst essays and scripts

Read an essay or script in your head and see if it makes sense to you, if not, it most likely will not work

Write easy essays and scripts before progressing to harder ones or you end up stuck

This is more fitting

Lua is like Presidential Elections. If you make a mistake, the whole shebang goes to shambles.

That moment when you try to help the community by giving simple things to help with people who don't know something and people come to criticize your work because they have nothing better to do.

I'm not saying anything for or against any of them right here, it would be irrelevant to the thread and just effect a flame war.

No. This is almost a description of syntax, which is a feature of both natural language and programming languages.

E.g.,

correct:
Bob gives Sue the ball
incorrect:
gives Sue ball the Bob

But, just because something is syntactically correct does not mean that it means what is wanted. For example,

Sue gives Bob the ball

has a very different meaning.

Further, you can construct completely meaningless sentences in English

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.

...which can also be done in programming languages.

----

Fundamentally programming languages are a language to tell a computer what to do.
Programming is basically turning a design into something so specific that it cannot be misinterpreted. This is not easy, especially since computers have not been "taught" even the most obvious things.

@Flux you do spam, but I must admit you have helped a lot like 7/10 times. (Which does include me in there some where)
