Definately need to take a look! Thanks

You're welcome! It's quite nice, I primarily use PhpStorm and Rider at work (I have a JetBrains Toolbox subscription with all their programs included), but use WebStorm at home because it's cheaper.

The community version does not support JavaScript afaik and found online.

Yeah, you need IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for that, which is about 3x as expensive as WebStorm. WebStorm doesn't have as much language support as IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, though, it looks like the Lua support is limited, but as Lua isn't my primary reason for having WebStorm, that is fine for me.
A free alternative that you might have heard of is
Visual Studio Code. It has extensions for almost anything these days and runs quite well. If I hadn't been spoiled by JetBrains products, that's what I would use.
