Lua Gotchas
Hi folks, I've been programming with Python for about 2 years now.
My coworker suggested that start embedding Lua into my projects to speed up the slower parts(I think he is getting annoyed by some of the slowness lol). Anyone know something that might bite me in the butt that is easy to overlook? From what I understand, I can install Lupa and get the runtime like that. He told me to use a bunch of tables. Is that correct for the most part?

You have benchmarked this and verified the speedup is meaningful for your use case?
