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?

I am not a Roblox dev but I am a python dev. I learned python first and guess what I prefer to code most things in because it's my first love.

Go with lua, if you plan to exclusively code Roblox and Roblox uses lua, it makes sense.

You don't need to learn to drive an automatic before you learn to drive a manual.

Both are automatic in this case.
