Python and Lua:

  1. Python - easy to learn, great syntax, incredibly powerful, easily extendable

  2. And Lua - easy syntax, easy to learn, I can make stuff for the Playdate in it.

I’d probably like Lua more if it doesn’t use do and end to enclose code blocks (like, it’s 2022, Pascal “died” a long time ago), and it not being severely limited (lua’s version of regex is severely limited, although %b is cool), but that’s probably because it’s meant to be embeddable and easy to learn so
