I'm going to be making a roadmap for learning Lua on Android. This is just an index post I'll be making and editing whenever I can!

Sorry, you're making a post to list all the other posts you're going to make about lua? Is that the purpose of this post? Why not post it all in one post?

Why learn Lua?

Lua is quite popular for writing games and mods forn games.

Also, and I can't emphasize enough how much this means to me, personally: it's not Java.

Lua is a bit faster and lightweight. I'm going easy since my phone's really old.
