Lua is used in many products and projects around the world. Here are some highlights. A different selection is shown every day.

Cisco IP Cameras can be controlled using Lua. Wireshark, a popular network protocol analyzer, is scriptable with Lua. The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011. The widely used VLC media player is scriptable in Lua.

Blackmagic Fusion, a post-production image compositing software used extensively in the movie industry, uses Lua as one of its embedded scripting languages. Volvo cars like the V40 Cross Country embed Lua in their combined instrument panel. Solar2D is a free Lua based game engine with focus on ease of iterations and usage. It is a fork of the well established and widely used Corona SDK game engine. Defold is a free engine for professional 2D game development, used at King games and by over 40,000 developers worldwide. All game logic is scripted in Lua.
