I chose python and html/css/javascript for my kid, who is 9, the python game book got him started and now I was challenged at dinner table by various Python module questions... first thing after he started html, is: why can't html have if-else?

That's where the embedded Ruby or AngularJS comes in... :)

Which python game book? This one... http://inventwithpython.com/ http://inventwithpython.com/ or some of the others. I'm thinking of doing the same with my son this summer.

  yes it's this one, I bought one for him so he can read anywhere he wants to, this is a great book for his age.

JavaScript/HTML/CSS is the eventual target. Lua is like JS-the-good-parts with better syntax, TCO and coroutines. My guess is he'll hate the transition for awhile but will have a lot of great habits and concepts that will really serve him well in JS.
