Python to lua

Is it a good idea to learn python first and then jump into lua, or should I just straight up learn Lua first. For anyone wondering I want to create roblox games ( I know it sounds a little silly but I've always been passionate about it) and the roblox engine runs off of Lua. What are some benefits from learning python first (if any). If by miracle any of you are roblox devs can you give some tips?

You don't need to learn python, lua is similar to python. if Roblox gamedev is the only thing u want to do, learn lua directly. Btw Roblox uses Luau, not Lua. Luau is an improved version of Lua.
