gollark: I don't work too seriously with Lua; my big projects are in other stuff. Type safety isn't horribly important, but if the language advertises it it should support it.
gollark: <@301092081827577866>Answering questions in the order I read them.
gollark: 8 (personal preference). Ugly syntax
gollark: 7 (mostly due to 1, 2). reliance on code generation as a poor alternative to macros.
gollark: 6 (partly cultural). User/implementer divide. Only the people who write the standard library get to use generics, `recover`, etc. And no.user type can get make, new, channel syntax, generics.
