Lua and Elixir ๐๐
Lua's origins are from Brazil? Bro so many mods on PC use LUA it's insane.
Yup, created at Pontifica Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-RJ, a catholic university), originally for Petrobras' systems in the early 90s.
I know World of Warcraft's UI and lots of logic runs on lua, also that a good portion of roblox logic can be made in lua instead of C++. Being super light (247kb was small even by 1993 standards) and easy to embed helped it a lot, for sure.
