At first glance, my impression is that Go would be an awkward partner for Lua -- goroutines like to be lightweight; while the main route for maintaining thread safety in lua is to have a unique state for each thread. There's probably ways of engineering around that awkwardness -- perhaps by using channels to set up some sort of shared lua-state pool -- but I haven't tried it.
