Lua is on the market for much longer time, and of course it&#x27;s used in many products. It&#x27;s my personal belief though that in many places Lua is used, it&#x27;s used for the lack of  alternative. And one of my motives for working on MicroPython is to provide such better alternative. It&#x27;s the same liberal license, but has that &quot;batteries included&quot; stroke (mind that for <i>Micro</i>Python, there&#x27;re &quot;coin-sized&quot; batteries included ;-) ), i.e. out of the box it comes with many features with nice standard API, which for Lua must be provided separately (invented and reinvented?). The key of this effort is of course sustainability, and we&#x27;re making plans how to be around for a long time ;-).<p>All in all, we&#x27;re on the same playing field, and welcome independent reviews of MicroPython vs Lua.
