Every couple months I find myself sending my "Lua is a misunderstood language" blog post to someone:
https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language.html
I don't think many people realise that #Lua is not trying to compete with JS, C, Python, etc. Lua is its own thing with its own history and constraints and trying to approach it expecting to find those other languages is a recipe for frustration.
Also, this is a good example of how having a blog is important, it saves you time by making it easy to share your toughts.
