Languages like Python or OCaml really just use tables under the hood for objects and what not (from what I understand), but Lua shows you that outright.

I can see the case for Python, but how do you explain OCaml?

Yes and this transparency gives you a new perspective on the underlying "pattern" between concepts, which is very powerful.
