Just gonna add to the Lua love. I was also introduced to it by LOVE2D and revisted it with Redbean. In terms of ergonomics, it is still my favorite programming language; I find it very easy to read and reason about, and I credit that to its minimalism.

I also got into Lua mostly through LÖVE 2D (there’s also LÖVR for 3D with a similar API, but different devs).

I’ve made a few small games using these frameworks in the past and as a hobby plan to continue making games with these frameworks, it’s fun!

Harvard also has a nice course on game dev with LÖVE 2D and Unity, CS50. Can be followed online for free [0].

Lua is a language in which I implemented a class system at a point at which I'd still be scratching my head over another language's syntax sugar. I love it.
