It's interesting for me as I'm asked a lot by photographer friends about large performance problems with Lightroom. Wait until you try Aperture, performance-wise Lightroom is heaven.

I never really peeked into the application bundle of Lightroom, but at least some of the plugins that I used were written in Lua.
