My current job is heavy in Python and a previous job was heavy in Lua. It's hard to tell from the article, but it seems like this is an environment that is embedded in another executable. In that context, Lua is certainly lighter weight and luvi sounds like a fantastic extension to the language (lua scripts are generally single threaded). That said, anyone who has written Lua knows that scaling is difficult and relies on really high quality code. I'd be wary about replacing python scripts with Lua, especially if the problem with python was users wanted more advanced features. Still, my use case isn't yours and I'm glad the migration went well.
