With a small correction for spelling, we have a winner!  Lua is, indeed, the
language I speak of.

Lua is used in the following programs:

Wireshark
Nmap
Cisco Dynamic Access Policies
Android Scripting Environment
Adobe Lightroom
Monotone
Apache mod_lua
lighttpd
OpenWRT
VLC
Space Shuttle Hazardous Gas Detection System
it is supported in the PVM
at least two window managers

...and a whole category on Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lua-scripted_video_games
...which includes Crysis, CoH, Supreme Commander, Homeworld 2, the Warhammer
series, and the most well-known title,
World of Warcraft

Finally the well-known native items....
The GUI toolkit is IUP
The Wiki is Sputnik
The webapp framework is Kepler
The web server is Xavante
The 2D game engine is LOVE

See you at the meeting...


Enjoy,
Bruce.
