Our example game Darkness Awaits is written entirely in Lua. I was worried at first it might be too slow to script the whole thing, but it turned out Lua is fast enough for what we are trying to do.

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

When the JIT can figure it out lua is very fast. I know for a fact that i have gotten burned by simple things like exiting a function early. Microbenchmarks put it at 70-80% native C.

 

I would be curious to see what the lua profiler says. https://gist.github.com/perky/2838755
