Lua is simple and small. Phyton is complex and big. Simkin I have never seen
but recall it is a bit in between the two.

All three have got the job done in several games before, so you won't be
make a bad choice with any of them. The decision to go with small & simple
versus complex & big depends essentially on how much software engineering
your designers or script writers are able to do - if they are not
programmers, go with something as simple as possible.
