Quoting Salvatore Sanfilippo
Read OriginalIn a Hacker News comment, Salvatore Sanfilippo, the creator of Redis, reflects on the choice of Lua for Redis scripting. He states that if the compact JavaScript engine MicroQuickJS had been available in 2010, he would have chosen JavaScript instead. He explains Lua was selected for technical reasons (small, fast, ANSI-C) but criticizes its syntax for creating unnecessary friction without offering sufficiently novel abstractions.
