My understanding is that battery capacity is the issue; it's usually above the max allowed on the plane. This company makes a snap-together battery https://ebikes.ca/product-info/g…

I think it's partly due to: people like regular garden-variety arrays and hashmaps, and don't want to use car, cdr, cons. I like my array and hashmap literals.

If you want Lua under the hood, but a more industrial-strength language on top, you might have a look at Haxe. It can compile to Lua (among other languages/platforms). https://haxe…
