I tried this on 1 or 2 small projects, years ago.

It was okay. It's cool that you can import data directly into Lua scripts, since Lua usually has poor library support for any other data format.

But I hit a wall with a limit on the number of tables in a file or something, that was specific to the Lua impl I was using. (Probably LuaJIT)

Sometimes I miss Lua. I think with only a few big breaking changes it could be a much better language.
