I do not think the information on the impossibility of calling __cdecl imports from managed code is accurate. Per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.interopservices.dllimportattribute(v=vs.110).aspx , the [DllImport] attribute can have a CallingConvention field, one of whose possible values being Cdecl. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.interopservices.callingconvention(v=vs.110).aspx for examples.

That means a stock Lua DLL should be usable from a .net application, if the imports are correctly decorated. I have not tried that, though.
