Key differences between Lua and Nim
| Characteristic | Lua | Nim |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Simple, lightweight, and minimalistic syntax inspired by Pascal and Scheme; easy to read and write. | Python-like, indentation-based syntax with optional curly braces; more expressive and modern. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural with support for functional and limited object-oriented programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and metaprogramming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted; fast for a scripting language but generally slower than compiled languages. | Compiled to C, C++, or JavaScript; performance close to C. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller standard library; many libraries for game development and embedded use, but fewer general-purpose frameworks. | Growing ecosystem; access to C libraries, and several general-purpose and web frameworks. |
| Community and support | Mature, stable, but relatively small community; strong in game development and embedded systems. | Younger and smaller community, but active and growing; good support via forums and chat. |
| Learning curve | Very gentle; easy for beginners due to simplicity and minimalism. | Moderate; easy for those familiar with Python or statically typed languages, but more features to learn. |
