Apache Groovy vs. Lua vs. Scala vs. python-sql Comparison Chart

Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode with a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping. Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. Substantial fractions of large applications have been written in Lua.

python-sql is a library to write SQL queries in a pythonic way. Simple selects, select with where condition. Select with join or select with multiple joins. Select with group_by and select with output name. Select with order_by, or select with sub-select. Select on other schema and insert query with default values. Insert query with values, and insert query with query. Update query with values. Update query with where condition. Update query with from the list. Delete query with where condition, and delete query with sub-query. Provides limit style, qmark style, and numeric style.
