Im getting back into programmimg and the only language ive made any headway in because I used to play roblox when I was 11-13 and you could program your own minigames in lua and back then I didn't have severe brain damage so I actually could do stuff.
Would you say lua has many practical applications or should I just stick with something like python/c++?

Lua is a perfectly reasonable general purpose language. It has language features that, per current consensus among professionals, are "bad" which is why you don't see it used super widely in a commercial context but that doesn't mean it's not wroth learning, especially if you're just using it for hobby projects.

Any programming language that you can personally use, is fine. You'll likely learn more due to wanting to do different things.
