I feel kinda dumb asking this, but I can't find it anywhere else online...:(

Hi,

LUA language, here is the manual https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html

There are also JavaScript, MoonScript, Wren, and Fennel languages too.

MoonScript and Fennel are Lua-based languages. JavaScript and Wren are non-Lua languages.

And one other question, how do I save a cart if I keep getting the error of 'no file name :| ?'

I just found TIC-80 recently and have been coding a turn-based strategy game. I use TypeScript which I then compile into Javascript and paste it into TIC-80. So far, the coding limit hasn't been a problem, but if it becomes one, I can optimize the generated code for size, and minify the JS which will, typically, drastically reduce the size of the code. I don't know if other languages have minifiers, but I suspect they do not because the impetus for developing minifiers for JS does not exist in most other languages, that I am aware of.
