This looks cool! Lua obviously is a much more mature language. I'd expect it to use a fairly complex interpreter (LuaJIT is not available for esp8266 I assume..) so this is likely a bit less efficient (even though the Lua interpreter is probably well-optimized, it is simply more complex) but obviously much more functional than my toy language.
