Lua Showcase

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

Cisco Wireshark LuaTeX Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
Cisco IP Cameras can be controlled using Lua. Wireshark, a popular network protocol analyzer, is scriptable with Lua. LuaTeX, the engine behind most modern installations of TeX, uses Lua as its embedded scripting language. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is mostly written in Lua. Lightroom also supports Lua plug-ins.
Volvo Solar2D Grim Fandango Nmap
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. "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) Nmap, a popular tool for network discovery and security auditing, is scriptable with Lua.
