I have no experience on that point, but can propose the following…

1.33 Is Lua suitable for embedding in a program?

One of Lua's most appreciated uses is in exposing select internal  
routines through Lua's efficient interpreter, such that users and  
developers may extend and customise an application's functionality.  
Lua is also an ideal candidate for modular cross-platform code within  
an application, or across its components. Applications that use Lua in  
these ways include Adobe Lightroom, World-of-Warcraft, VLC, Lighttpd,  
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUses";>and more</a>.

Integrating with C/C++ is especially easy (see <a href="#T65">4.4</a>  
or <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/SimpleLuaApiExample";>Simple API  
Example</a>), whilst bi-directional bindings for many popular  
languages and frameworks are also available (<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/BindingCodeToLua 
">see Binding Code To Lua</a>).

I've cited app examples because I believe it's worthwhile establishing  
credentials.
Incidentally shouldn't this FAQ eventually be merged with / replace  
the lua-users.org FAQ?
