On Unix word, with the help of LGI library you can also build very powerful GUI or open desktop integrated applications.

The difficult points is arguments passing b/w introspected libraries and their public documentation : have a look various discuss I initiated on this list :)

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.
