Lua also uses assert() a lot. For instance,

assert(Myfunction(),"we failed")

More interesting is this:

f = assert(io.open(file))
...

This actually gives a sensible error trace, because if io.open fails
it returns two values, nil and an error message. The second parameter
of assert() is the message string, so it works as expected.
