Key differences between Zig and Lua
| Characteristic | Zig | Lua |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, statically structured, explicit and verbose, designed for clarity and safety. | Minimalist, lightweight, simple and flexible, designed for embedding and scripting. |
| Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming. | Multi-paradigm: procedural, functional, and data-driven (table-based OOP). |
| Typing | Statically typed, strong typing with explicit type declarations. | Dynamically typed, weak typing with automatic type conversions. |
| Performance | High performance, compiled to native code, suitable for systems programming. | Interpreted (with optional JIT), fast for a scripting language but generally slower than compiled languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, growing standard library, limited third-party libraries. | Rich ecosystem for scripting, many libraries for game development and embedding, but fewer for general-purpose programming. |
| Community and support | Smaller, newer community, active development, limited resources. | Established, global community, extensive documentation, widely used in games and embedded systems. |
| Learning curve | Moderate to steep, especially for beginners or those unfamiliar with systems programming. | Gentle, easy to pick up for beginners, simple syntax and semantics. |
