Pico-8 fantasy console uses Lua (a subset of; with Pico-8-specific console APIs). I keep going back to it in my personal projects time and again. I always think, "OK, I'm going to build the next thing in C" and wind up falling back to Pico-8 and Lua.

The in-the-works Picotron will grow from Pico-8's roots and present a full fantasy computer, with an OS, windowing system, etc. and expands Lua support to the full v5.4 language.

yep.

Roblox wrote a superset of Roblox Lua which is way faster https://luau-lang.org/

nice pointers, that sounds interesting. Have they kept it near-compatible with lua when it comes to how to embed it in a host app? Wondering if they are "competitive" in that aspect.

World of Warcraft addons as well.

That’s where I first encountered Lua.

Also that little monochrome handheld device with the crank, playdate, is all Lua.
