   Simultaneously the best and worst thing about Lua is that it doesn't have a rich *anything* library in the standard. (So it fits on a floppy & will run on MS-DOS or RiscOS unmodified.) Python is exactly the opposite: ships with no fewer than 3 distinct irc libraries.

     @enkiv2 @grainloom @jamey I agree, and also Lua makes dependency management hard.
     With python an virtualenv/pipenv can be done easily.

     Nowadays i'm not sure if this is a bad thing or a good thing... it makes me take care of my deps, but at the same time it makes hard to make "glue-only" projects where I mix concepts together and I want them to work as fast as possible and rely on external libraries.
