What is lacking is any space for community. No mailing-list or other place to discuss the direction of the project. No documentation expressing what is the overall reason or rationale behind the project, or who are the main contributors, how decisions are made, no roadmap.
There seems to be zero braking force on adding new features to the syntax and libraries. While I agree with 90% of them, I can find no discussion of why they were added, what arguments against adding were considered, how the decision was made, and by whom.
I have created my own (as yet unreleased) fork of Lua, adding some of these same features. I could abandon it and instead use (and contribute to) Pluto, but I am frightened by the mystery surrounding its origins, governance, and seeming lack of community input into the future direction.
