People always like "omg omg Lua so much better for embedding [in C/etc.] than Python"
having done both they are literally the same, easy but dum. Python better tho overall imqo
Lua claims advantage with "lightweight footprint", aka doesn't have as many libs avail as Python. Python isn't that big either, under a couple megs. Performance-wise Python a lot faster at simple stuff but falls behind with binary trees and such (kinda makes sense, since Lua only has table data type like LISP lists).
