  Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. It supports procedural programming, object-oriented programming, functional programming, data-driven programming, and data description.

  

You should first learn Lua the language itself. There is a quick guide that gives you the most important information on Learn Lua in Y Minute. If you want something more comprehensive you can read the Lua 5.0 book online for free (Neovim uses 5.1) or buy a later edition of the book. Lua does not use semantic versioning, so Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 are different languages and not compatible. However, the differences are so small that it is very likely that a script written for a lower version will run on a higher version.
