Official lua support would be peachy.

(Stripe dev here)

You're probably already aware of this, but there are 3rd party[0] libraries, including one for Lua[1]

Out of curiosity: Where would this be used? The only places I ever hear the word "lua" being used are with "embedded in a game as a scripting language".

Is this the case here? Does lua have a lot of use elsewhere?

Lua is compiled into OpenResty (NGINX). There is also a nice webframework called Lapis thats built on top of openresty and lua.
