In the Spring/Recoil RTS game engine[1] we adapted Lua to have deterministic execution allowing synchronous multiplayer simulation. In addition we relatively easily implemented a precise[2] serialization of the Lua VM, allowing us to support save/load for games with no code required from their side. In other languages these would require much more effort.
