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

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. "Grim Fandango was the first game that shows Lua could not only be used to make a good game, but that it could be used to make some of the best games ever." (cited here; see also this) Wireshark, a popular network protocol analyzer, is scriptable with Lua. LÖVE is a free framework for making 2D games in Lua.

The widely popular game Angry Birds is mostly written in Lua. See a talk by Jaakko Lisalo at the Game Design Expo 2011. Volvo cars like the V40 Cross Country embed Lua in their combined instrument panel. Players of World of Warcraft use Lua to customize the game interface. Blackmagic Fusion, a post-production image compositing software used extensively in the movie industry, uses Lua as one of its embedded scripting languages.
