Well python Qt5 wrapper already exists and code is avaialble in Krita as well.

Also, the background Python libraries is just monstrous, especially
for image processing.

Python is now included in Windows SDK (aka MSVC) de facto. It will be
the standard everywhere for scripting.

And with Lua you need an interpreter too (:=)))...

I playing with LUA when i deployed a VerneMQ Mqtt broker in my office,
and as the student who work with me while this stage said : " what's
this F. shit like language...". This student now working on Face
engine clustering project n digiKam while this summer, and he is
brilliant.

I don't like LUA syntax. Python is better even if i prefer C++ syntax so far...
