Yikes, not true. I can't imagine developing anything of significant complexity with Lua. Also it hasn't been all-capitals for a while.



these tiny languages for MCU by design are not for 'significant complexity" to start with, even Lua might be too large and complex for "tiny iot devices".

For me, Zig and C will do it just fine.


Zig and C are much better at managing complexity because of their type systems.
