Python integration, accessible to developers ranging from low to high skills, and better performance compared to lua.

Because lua has 1-indexed arrays.

lua is actually faster than python given how simple its interpreter is, and luajit is faster still. But really the fact that its so simple is a limitation: I get the appeal of lua from ease of integration standpoint, but as an actual language it's a pain to do anything meaningful. And whose bright idea was it to use 1-indexed arrays in a language whose main goal is supposed to be ease of interop with C?

For those interested in leveraging Lua, but don't want to write it: https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages

If you don'tlike renpy you can always use Löve2d for visual novels, it's barely even newer than renpy they are both from the 2004-2008 era.

I just found out that pytorch is actually called pytorch because it's the successor of torch, which was based in lua.
