This is a good illustration of how flexible and expressive Lua can be. Gives ideas to make DSLs.

Looks like a neat little lua based game engine for simple 2D.

Indeed it is. It's not the perfect or most sexy language, and yet it has some interesting properties.

It's a not niche indeed but has its place in some applications.

Nice trick to get the pressure off the team while it looks for a proper solution.

Early days but could become an interesting alternative to Lua for an embedded scripting language in some projects.
