Lua patterns deliberately lack the most complex regular expression constructs (to avoid bloating the Lua code base), where many other computer languages or libraries use a more complete set. Lua patterns are not even a subset of regular expressions, as there are also discrepancies, like Lua using the escape character % instead of \, , and ...
Here are some short points about Lua, for those who already know other computer programming languages and how to program. They focus mainly upon what you might find different in Lua. Lua is dynamically typed. There's no static typing at all.
Also, all Lua in the page is limited to 10 seconds CPU time (you can look in the source code of a rendered page to see how long a template or module took to parse). And relative to standard Lua, Scribunto's Lua lacks all sorts of functions (see mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual § Differences from standard Lua).
The Lua language has allowed misspelled, or uninitialized, variables to be used in a script which can eventually cause "script error" while giving no other indication of the misspelled name or invalid data.
