One of my replies may be in your &quot;negative&quot; pile.  It wasn&#x27;t intended to be negative, just to point out that the cited reasons in the article for the switch weren&#x27;t specific to python...just how they decided to use it.  They may have been concerned about packaging python because of the size, but didn&#x27;t call that out.<p>Had the title been &quot;Why we Chose to use Lua&quot; it probably would have garnered more positive comments.
