    I think python is good as it is for what it can do, mostly because I have no reason to use it.

    What we need is lua with types!

      Have you heard of Typescript-to-lua? I used to do Dota modding (which is in lua) with TSTL and it works great!

      You write TS code (using Typescript syntax that includes types) and it is compiled into lua.

      Wonder if that could be an alternative that can work for you.

        That sounds pretty neat thank you. At some point lua had an official typed extension that is no longer maintained unfortunately. Hopefully there’s a stable fork one day.

          Oh yeah, I heard it was poorly recieved. The syntax wasn’t great and generally the support sucked. AFAIK there is no progress on types for lua.
