Use Luau instead of Lua

Use Luau instead of Lua.
It's essentially typed Lua.
The "we need TypeScript plugin support in GriddyCode" people will shut up because Luau has types, or just use Roblox-TS.
It's compatible with Lua 5.1 code so most code should work.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use Luau instead of Lua. You can probably use godot-luau-script in this case.
For now we're not gonna switch from LuaAPI as it provides too little benefit. Neovim doesn't use Luau either, and it seems to work just fine for developers :^)
The plugins api has like 6 functions, and if you're using luals (formerly known as sumneko_lua) the meta file at the project root should provide you with the necessary type definitions you need.

Did you read the website?
Luau has continue, types, and more (it does remove goto, but honestly,
you shouldn't need it other than for continuing in a for loop).
Why would Roblox create Luau in the first place if there was no reason to?

Yes. However, it's not natively supported by Lua.

I think the benefit of implementing Luau is minimal.
GriddyCode should stick to Lua unless the need for Luau arises.
Ok. I'll close the issue for now.
