Well, I'm really not sure how you measure "popular". Lua is an embedded language and
thus often is not "visible" even when critical to a project. For example, Lua is used

I did not!

I was surprised to see that some models of Texas-Instruments graphing calculators not only have TI-Basic, but also have Lua. Alas, for budget reason, we bought to my daughter the cheapest model, with only TI-Basic... :-/
