Lua in Redis is not useful for serving as a runtime for running Lua application code; it's valuable for allowing you to perform a series of steps atomically. You can read and write data without worrying about something else changing: only one piece of code can write at a time. We use it for rate limiting, which requires reading and writing atomically, for instance.
