If anyone has either root or physical access to the computer, this is hardly a defence.

On a Un*x system, you can simply mark the executable execute-only.
chmod go-rw+x myprog.lua
I.e. only the root user can change, copy or reverse-engineer it,
but anyone can run it. You don't even need to compile the Lua
script, a shebang turns any Lua source file into an executable.
