Lua code is easy to follow for short scripts, but its syntax and minimal standard library makes it unmanageable for larger programs.

This requirement was important enough that it led to re-imple...

    ...data types turned out to be less efficient than we hoped. There was too much emphasis on theoretically optimal algorithms, and not enough tuning for common cases.

For instance: ABC's ideosyncratic syntax (all uppercase keywords!); some terminology (e.g. "how-to" instead of "procedure"); and the integrated structured editor, which...
