Python and Lua are simular, and I only know Python, not Lua.

Support! Although ROBLOX is based on Lua, I can see how this could be done.

Would people stop suggesting adding more languages, Lua fits roblox perfectly, and they don't need more languages. Also not needed to spend 5x more time just keep all languages able to do the same thing, and not buggy. STOP SUGGESTING MORE LANGUAGES. possible troll-bait. local siggy = Instance.new("siggy"):Destroy() -- Twitter @umaybleed

@sem Python is a game coding language. Lua doesn't work for me, Python is easier to follow.

No. This would waste the time of the Roblox devs instead of developing more useful features and would make everything extremely complex, all to end up with two languages which aren't really that different. Just learn Lua, it's not hard at all; especially if you already know Python.

There aren't any good lua tutorials. Also, Python is known more well than Lua.

> Also, Python is known more well than Lua. Therefore we should actually switch to C++ because that's more well known than both of them. Also, due to the target audience of this site, Lua is going to be the first language for the majority of players. There's no possible way there are enough people here with enough prior experience in Python to make this even remotely worthwhile. And like I said, even if you are an expert at Python then Lua shouldn't be hard.
