A comment on Lua vs Ruby benchmarks (similarly "high-level" languages, insanely different performance). Parent comment
Look at LuaRocks (http://www.luarocks.org/). It's an attempt at a CPAN-like package collection. The stdlib and bitlib libraries, in particular, are pretty necessary. (Also, http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/ has some others.)
Lua errs on the side of only putting what can be implemented fully portably in ANSI C in its standard libary, which makes it a bit spare.
