That's right. Sdegutis built Zephyros (Ruby OSX automation, also other Lang support), then Phoenix (JavaScript OSX Automation), then Hydra (Lua based) which became Mjolnir, which is forked to Hammerspoon.

Phoneix lives on as Phoenix 2.2 https://github.com/kasper/phoenix

I'm sticking to Phoenix. Are there any advantages in using Lua script instead of JavaScript?

If you prefer Lua there is. I don't see any advantages myself. Phoneix is a permanent fixture on all my macs.

It’s nice we have great options to choose from. Everyone has their own preferences. :)
