Lua is everywhere in gaming, yet most developers barely know it exists. In this episode, Lucas and Luna trace how a tiny scripting language from Brazil became the embedded language of choice for World of Warcraft, Roblox, and even Redis. They unpack why Lua's simplicity and C-friendly design made it a natural fit for games, how Roblox created an entire economy around it, and what LuaJIT's uncertain future means for the ecosystem. If you've ever modded a game or written a WoW addon, you've touched Lua. This episode explains why that matters for the next generation of programmable worlds.
