About
Lua is a lightweight scripting language designed primarily for embedded use in applications.
It features a small core written in 
C/C++, automatic memory management, fast execution through a simple virtual machine, a flexible table-based data model, and a standard library that fits in a few hundred kilobytes, making it suitable for games, embedded systems, and extensible software.
TypeScript is a high-level programming language developed by Microsoft that adds optional static typing and advanced language features to 
JavaScript for building complex applications.
It provides compile-time type checking, type inference, interfaces, generics, enums, and namespaces, supports definition files for thousands of JavaScript libraries, and compiles to standard JavaScript compatible with any runtime environment.
