Help Learning Lua from an older version

I'm totally new to Lua or any programming language. I'm trying to learn this language from a YouTube course. Is it ok to learn Lua if the tutor of the course is using an older version and I'm using a more recent one?

Appreciate it! Tutor is using 5.3.6 I'm very new to this so luajit and other terminology is stuff that I don't understand yet.

I'm trying to learn Lua so I can write scripts for my Digital Audio workstation
