I'm a fan of students learning both functional and imperative
programming in a first course.
If Lua has functional aspects, then I think it would be a good choice
as a first programming language.
I'm thinking along the lines of JavaScript, which has functional
aspects and a lot of bad constructs as well.
So, if Lua or some other language could be a cleaned up JavaScript
that also runs outside the browser, that would be superb.
