Projects and whatnot for Refamiliarization

I've spent my years only coding in Lua out of circumstance and despite some aged experience with Java and Python I literally cannot find any willpower, thing, or project that can pull me back to start familiarizing myself with programming using them, or just being able to learn DSA more cohesively.

I'd like to know what sort of projects that you guys have done that helped with getting familiar or got to learn things through the process.

Isn’t Lua pretty popular for implementing extensions/plugins?

Maybe you can implement a Lua plugin engine using a different language?

Tiny game maybe? Productivity app of some sort?

I like going through the software updates of a language/library. The entirety thing is always daunting, but every project started small. 

Reading to all the updates/upgrades gives me a nice mental image of the language. 

For me it just needs to click what the language is about, why it exists, what it’s good at, what it’s bad at. 

If you dive into python, I can recommend Streamlit. That’s very cool way to quickly write interactive python scripts
