I have been joking for a while that I am searching for my next language to add to my resume, and I am strongly leaning towards #Go and #Rust. I have used Go in a few projects, but honestly, I haven't even touched a line of Rust.

That being said, alongside this, I think I am finally going to add #Lua to my arsenal as well. I've been using #Neovim and would love to easily be able to write my own extensions, and I also see that #Redis has support for it.

Earlier today, I wanted to delete all keys in my Redis database with some <key>:<id>. I was a bit lazy and messed around. So I asked #ChatGPT just for a quick #CLI command. Which it basically said wasn't possible.

So I had 1 of 2 options. Write 5 lines of Python just randomly in my existing main file. OR! I see that #RedisInsight supports Lua!

Why do something in 5 minutes in 5 lines if I can automate it in a day by learning an entire new language?🙆‍♂️
