WeeChat IRC client allows scripts to be written in Lua. WinGate proxy server allows event processing and policy to execute Lua scripts with access to internal WinGate objects. Wireshark network packet analyzer allows protocol dissectors, post-dissectors, and taps to be written in Lua. [35] X-Plane uses lua for aircraft systems and plugins.
Lua 1.0 was designed in such a way that its object constructors, being then slightly different from the current light and flexible style, incorporated the data-description syntax of SOL (hence the name Lua: Sol meaning "Sun" in Portuguese, and Lua meaning "Moon").
The script at Module:LuaCall has been written to accept any set of named parameters somename=value, for each one storing the string value in the variable with the name somename, and then allowing you to use these variables as parameters for any function available in Lua.

Also, unlike wp:templates which can be run interactively by edit-preview, the Lua script must be tested by show-preview (or run preview) of another page which uses a template which #invokes the Lua module being edited. In general, make one small change at a time, do a run show-preview, and save after a few good changes to have a version to ...
The Lua language has allowed misspelled, or uninitialized, variables to be used in a script which can eventually cause "script error" while giving no other indication of the misspelled name or invalid data.
This essay explains various issues about the execution speed and performance of Lua script in Wikipedia. The speed of using Lua modules can vary greatly, compared to similar markup-based templates, often ranging from 4x-8x times faster, or 180,000x faster when scanning text strings, which can exceed the 500-character parser-function markup limit as 64,000 characters or more.
The string-search functions in Lua script can run extremely fast, comparing millions of characters per second. For example, a search of a 40,000-character article text, for 99 separate words (passed as 99 parameters in a template), ran within one second of Lua CPU clock time.
