I have no experience on that point, but can propose the following…

1.33 Is Lua suitable for embedding in a program?
One of Lua's most appreciated uses is in exposing select internal
routines through Lua's efficient interpreter, such that users and
developers may extend and customise an application's functionality.
Lua is also an ideal candidate for modular cross-platform code within
an application, or across its components. Applications that use Lua in
these ways include Adobe Lightroom, World-of-Warcraft, VLC, Lighttpd,
<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaUses">and more</a>.
Integrating with C/C++ is especially easy (see <a href="#T65">4.4</a>
or <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/SimpleLuaApiExample">Simple API
Example</a>), whilst bi-directional bindings for many popular
languages and frameworks are also available (<a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/BindingCodeToLua
">see Binding Code To Lua</a>).

I've cited app examples because I believe it's worthwhile establishing
credentials.
Incidentally shouldn't this FAQ eventually be merged with / replace
the lua-users.org FAQ?
