from what I understand is because if it was a Lua script, it would be impossible for their interactive CLI to manipulate the list of dependencies. Imagine if the list of dependencies would be generated by a function with side-effects inside that Lua configuration script, it would be really hard to make any tool to fiddle with that.

It works for Elixir, really well I may add.
