Here's a list of (some of) the things that have 'happened' to Lua:

Torch, scientific computing for LuaJIT: http://torch.ch/

LuvIT, an event-loop driven Node-like: https://luvit.io/

Love, a 2-d game engine: https://love2d.org/

OpenResty: http://openresty.org/

eLua: http://www.eluaproject.net/

and on, and on, and on. There's never been a better time to use the language.

I only wish there was an AWS SDK - given Lua is used in the Nginx world widely, writing scripts in Lua rather than Python for DevOps makes sense.
