Lua, a Misunderstood Language (2021)
(andregarzia.com)
Lua is one of my favourite programming languages. I’ve used it to build a CMS for my old educational website, for creating cool IoT hardware projects, for building little games, and experimenting with network decentralisation. Still, I don’t consider myself an expert on it at all, I am at most a somewhat competent user.

Writing a DSL in Lua (2015)
(leafo.net)
DSLs, or domain specific languages, are programming languages that are designed to implement a set of features specific to a particular problem or field. An example could be Make, the build tool, which is a specially designed language for combining commands and files while managing dependencies.

Show HN: Ldump – serialize any Lua data
(github.com/girvel)
ldump is a flexible serializer, able to serialize any data, starting with circular references, tables as keys, functions with upvalues, metatables and ending with coroutines, threads and userdata (by defining how they should be serialized). It outputs valid Lua code that recreates the original object, doing the deserialization through load(data)(). It aims for functionality and flexibility instead of speed and size, allowing full serialization of complex data, such as video game saves.

Lua is so underrated
(bearblog.dev)
The more I learn about Lua's design and implementation, the more impressed I am. It's very rare to see software that does so much with so little code.
