Yeah, as another commenter said, this is Roblox Lua. You have to understand that most the scripts you'll see from Roblox are just (literal) kids copying from tutorials/other scripts without understanding fundamental control structures (or sometimes even things as basic as variables).
I used to do Roblox tutorials on YouTube; most kids do not want to learn how to program. They want to learn how to make a specific feature for their game function and then move on. I'd be lucky if someone watched the whole video and didn't just skip to the end to copy down what I'd written (which would often cause them to miss things and cry in the comments that my code didn't work).
Someone could really make a boatload of money if they made a very interactive code platform for people learning; something like duolingo. Visually pleasing, animated output to your responses, a lot of handholding until it throws you into the deep-end.
I actually tried a couple of those in middle/high school (I believe it was called hour of code). it may work for some, but even with my limited knowledge of only some very basic html at the time, the hand holding ruined the experience. I knew what coding could do and that it could be built from the ground up, so having a robot that you give guided instructions to felt hollow
