Awesome, great to hear that Lua is of interest in the community and among the devs. Out of all the languages I know, I use lua for my personal projects 90% of the time and for work whenever I can get away with it.
However, I would highly recommend using LuaJIT over basic Lua. As noted in the pros/cons list, Lua GC does have some iffy scenarios that LuaJIT fixes. LuaJIT also makes the c/c++ binding far easier once you grasp the ffi library. It's also very hard for other scripting languages to beat it's performance.
