> And lua is miles faster than Python when you're outside the tensor domain, ie while you're sourcing and wrangling your data.

Then use Lua for that, if you are more comfortable there and want/need the speed bump. There's nothing that says an entire project or whatnot has to be developed in a singular language.

Use each tool to its strengths, as your needs, requirements, and abilities dictate.

There always has to be someone rolling out the horses-for-courses pitch. No. I wanted Lua to gain traction with other people. That's the point. I would have liked the Lua sci-ecosystem to be healthy as an alternative.

Is there an equivalent to numpy in the Lua space?
