Really liked that post, then again Lua is one of my favourite languages.
I wrote this post https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language.html some time ago and it kinda touches similar points as the OP. Read on if any of yous want to see yet another person talking about Lua.

There is a solid Windows ARM64 laptop, sort of: Microsoft's Surface Pro X. The main problem, as far as I can tell, is that there are few native ARM apps for Windows (though the MS Edge browser is native ARM64), and the machine is limited to running x86-32 (no 64 bit) apps through a translation layer, which makes the apps seem slow and makes the machine power hungry. But I would definitely consider getting one if I planned on living in the WSL, which is a native ARM-based Linux:

There is a very good criticism here: http://andregarzia.com/posts/en/whatsappdoesntunderstandtheweb and I have to agree to all of it.
