Where Lua *is* used

[sergei karhof]

Ok, we now do the reverse of the previous thread.

Let's focus on where Lua *is* used ;)

I start listing the applications that I remember:

Wikipedia's template/macros (breaking news)
Vim
SciTE (Scintilla Text Editor)
Awesome Windows Manager
Ion windows manager
Nanoki (simple wiki engine)
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
NoteCase Pro (outliner)
Sputnik (wiki engine)
Conky
VLC (media player)

help me to complete the list...

Hi,

Lua 5.1 is currently also used in OpenWrt, the LuCI web gui is
implemented in it.
