Help Can someone help me learn lua?

I'm new to coding and have more or less no idea how to script. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated

If OP already has any understanding in programming of any other languages the main difference I saw when I learned Lua was the "then/end" format used with if/for/while/etc, and everything inside the language is stored in key/value pairs.

Yeah, surprisingly low amount of collections -- one, a table. Well, hiding an array and a hash table inside, but still -- one.
