Agreed. Lua is embedded in things like Redis, and is often uses as an extension/configuration language for small projects. I based my mail client(http://lumail.org/ http://lumail.org/) around Lua as a configuration language because I kept getting annoyed by the almost-configuration-language used in mutt. Actually writing applications in Lua is also possible, for example the chat/Jabber server Prosody.
