You just said that you've just learned about lua used in games, and then directly propose Corona as the only place where you can use lua. You can embed yourself lua, and that's it's power. It can go down to 30-40kb (without parser), and run on PS3 SPU chip (256kb memory). It does not use any globals, all goes through a state structure, so you can have multiple runtimes (and different ones, HavokVM, lua reference, luajit) if you want at the same time. Don't get me wrong, Corona is cool, but there is also moai, and tons of other toolkits, and hundreths of other games that are using it - for scripting, ui layout, configuration, many other things.
