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

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is mostly written in Lua. Lightroom also supports Lua plug-ins. 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. Snort, a popular network intrusion prevention and detection system, is scriptable with Lua. Players of World of Warcraft use Lua to customize the game interface.

Cisco IP Cameras can be controlled using Lua. The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011. LuaTeX, the engine behind most modern installations of TeX, uses Lua as its embedded scripting language. Nmap, a popular tool for network discovery and security auditing, is scriptable with Lua.
