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. Hammerspoon is a tool for powerful automation of macOS using Lua scripting. Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system that hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in Lua. Celestia is a real-time 3D visualization of space that can be scripted with Lua.

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. Blackmagic Fusion, a post-production image compositing software used extensively in the movie industry, uses Lua as one of its embedded scripting languages. GitHub uses Lua scripts in the infrastructure of GitHub Pages, its static site hosting service. "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)
