Neovim is a popular hyperextensible Vim-based text editor that supports Lua plugins. The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011.

Snort, a popular network intrusion prevention and detection system, is scriptable with Lua. Blackmagic Fusion, a post-production image compositing software used extensively in the movie industry, uses Lua as one of its embedded scripting languages. 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.
