I'd easily debate this latter bit- the Forth is certainly higher quality.

Can you share a pointer to the problems you had?

It would be highly unusual for swapping out the interpreter to cause
problems of this nature. With the way loader is architected, most
low-level details don't change with different interpreters, and it's
incredibly likely you are looking at a problem that was caused
way-independently of swapping out the interpreter. Plenty of things
broke between FreeBSD 10/11 and 12 in loader-world as our loader
universe got thoroughly rototilled and improved -- many of these
things cannot be attributed to lua, but perhaps are because of the
coincidental timing.
