I would recommend C#, or any decedents such as C, Java, and others. C#,C, and Java have similar if statements but the if, and, and or are different. Tho' it isn't similar to lua if you are not interested then I would recommend you learn different engines to lua like Love2D or gmod.lua

@Naruto I never said JavaScript, and Java are completely different. Java is for making games and etc,. JavaScript is web development.

@chimmihc
Is Julia worth learning? What is it good for?


Like Lua, JavaScript is a scripting language with prototype-based inheritance (which Lua doesn't really have, but that's the easiest way to implement it), first-class functions and closures.

"Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for numerical computing." - julialang DOT org

That pretty much reflects what I have seen of its usage. Haven't heard of it being used for games or application add-ons.

Assembly and Binary are pretty close, you'd probably have success with those two.
