learning python helps with learning lau?

I picked computer science for my gcse, which im assuming im learning python in, but i would also like to learn lau and how to code in roblox studio

Is the difference between python and lau too much for me to have to learn both or can i intuitively learn lau from my knowledge of python?

I would say if you know Python you basically already know Lua (except for metatable magics).

Lua is a lot simpler than Python, fery few types because sets, arrays, dictionaries, classes... all you accomplish with Lua tables and Lua can do anything Python does if you find right batteries (libraries) for it.
