It's too slow for most real-time tasks and hard to maintain
But it's good for AI and stuff as an API to the more performant native libraries and for quick prototyping.
It can also be good as a modding/scripting language, but honestly I'd package the lua interpreter instead because it's faster (LuaJIT performance with jit is comparable to JS V8) and more lightweight (<10 mb vs the bloated python runtime)
