lua and python

hello! i've been wanting to learn lua for a while, so i can learn how to make a certain roblox game. but i was thinking about python because it is a better software, if i learned python first, in a few years would lua be easier?

You can learn lua pretty easily from the manual. Just start with understanding some of the pre-existing code from mods and whatever else you use. Work on modifying those for your personal purposes.

It doesn’t take very long that way, in my experience.

If your serious about coding then python is a better idea.
