Luatex has a lot of features that Context doesn't. Where is the best
place to start learning about it?
Category mistake: luatex is an engine, like pdftex and xetex :-)
luatex is one of three official engines that context can use:
MkII: pdftex,xetex
MkIV: luatex
MkII is frozen afaik: MkIV is the main development branch. Eventually MkIV
will _be_ Context for all practical purposes.
The most obvious thing MkIV gives you at the moment is advanced control of
OpenType fonts. For developers, lua provides advanced scripting and
extensibility. see also
