Different strokes I guess.
I consider Lua's type system almost mathematical in its elegance. For my taste, Lua is the penultimate dynamic language, held back only by the unforgivable Wirth-style indexing from 1.
The one place where I simply must correct you is in calling tables inefficient. LuaJIT's implementation, as interpreted, is demonstrably among the fastest general-purpose container classes in widespread use.
