Hey Dario,
People solve problems with the wrong language, every day! :)
Lua can certainly be used for complex applications and is. One of my
favorite examples is ZeroBrane Studio[1]. Along with some C libraries
(most notably wxwidgets/wxlua[2]), it's a complete and feature-rich
IDE.
On the web server front, openresty[3] (nginx + a collection of
packages) is pretty exciting and worth checking out.
