So, after taking Visual Basic for one semester in high school, I decided to try and learn lua, so that I can code games for my PSP. So, 2 weeks later, and I finished my little tutorial I found online, and i can write… nothing. I’ve been trying for the past week to write selection screen program and i cant even get past that. But I refuse to give up.
People doing this are also doing these things:

As a piece of my graduate project, I’ve been approved to write a World of Warcraft add-on. I’ll need to learn Lua and the WoW API, but I don’t think that’ll be too bad. This should be fun.
I want to learn Lua, beyond World of Warcraft. Hackin’ with Lua has been amazingly fun … and I bet knowing it independently of a particular API will look nice alongside Max and MEL script on my resume!
LUA as a tiny embeddable scripting language sounds good.
Had no good reason to look into it, until now. Started using ION on my aging PII as window manager, and it uses LUA for scripting.
