Java vs. Lua vs. Scala vs. Solidity Debugger Pro 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.

Free & Open source. Cross-platform. Supports all EVM blockchains. Solidity Debugger Pro (sdbg) is a VS Code extension that adds feature-rich debugging capabilities for Solidity projects. It supports all EVM-compatible blockchains, allowing developers to easily debug smart contracts locally or on a forked node. Sdbg brings native debugging support for the popular Hardhat framework.
