| Try out Ruby. It's not that similar to Lua but it's very easy and fun. |

Also Python if you're not much into web stuff.
Ruby has a very similar syntactic and stylistic feel to Lua. Python has roughly the same semantics as Lua but a very different syntax and set of idioms, which stem from it's use of a monolithic standard library. |

>Also Python if you're not much into web stuff. ... Python's only good for web stuff!
It's really bad when it comes to GUI development, but it is beast when it comes to web development.
I don't really suggest looking for an "easy" language, because if it's easy, it usually means it has problems. Like Visual Basic is "easy," but has a lot of down-sides compared to a higher-up language.
Just go to TheNewBoston and try languages like Java, Python, C++, JavaScript, Ruby, etc. Those are all great languages. |

@techboy Why use Python for CLI when you can use C++ or Java?
I love Python and all, but it only really shines above the other languages when it comes to web development. It's full of beat tools that make web development fast, fun, and a lot simpler than other languages. |

Simplicity + not having to rip your hair out with crazy debug errors |

@techboy I've never had those issues on Java.
And besides, C++ just feels like the most suited language for CLI development. That and C.
And why would you recommend a newbie to program in a CLI-environment? Most newbies have no clue how to operate an advanced CLI.

| Java. While I haven't looked much into it, it looks easy enough for someone already experienced with Lua. Go give the Oracle tutorials a read. c: |

| Scripting languages aren't replacements for programming languages. They are GREAT for small projects (under 1000 lines). The amount of code to convert my Catalog Heaven Lua program into Java is probably going to be at least triple of the Lua code. |

@koen
Javascript is used for browser-sided scripting
You must be thinking about Java |

@Seranok,
Actually, scripting languages typically allow for faster development times and less code... |
