>Curios how many people here actually use Lua ? I use it, my favorite language by far (after trying about all of them). >What are the applications you are using it for ? Game development. >I know it is used a bit in the gaming industry for scripting purposes Not just scripting anymore. There are multiple production grade game engines where you write all the code in Lua(JIT). This variant is big in the mobile/casual sector of the industry. Corona [1] seems to be the current market leader there. There is also an open source game engine - LÖVE [2] - where you use Lua(JIT) for everything. However it is more of a hobby/enthusiast thing. It is much simpler, and very few commercial games are based on it. In contrast, Corona is widely used for commercial projects.
