A valuable aid I've found (and a simple one!) is tracking any
uninitialised global usage.
This helps a _lot_ since it finds variable name typos etc. bugs that
would otherwise go unnoticed.
For code, see Scripts/globals.lua in LuaX sources.

Hi guys,
I was wondering what experience people have with larger systems
in Lua. I know that the central idea is that Lua isn't intended for
large programs, but I was curious to see how people on this
list have pushed the envelope. It's increasingly clear to me that
what makes a language suitable for larger scale is being able
to have separate namespaces (which tables do very nicely) and
being able to navigate in code. Lua carries a lot of metadata
which should make this very possible.
