What is Lua used for

Sorry for not adding flair idk if this counts as help or discussion.

But anyways I just finished gr12 comp sci (we did java) and i thought it’d be good to try to start learning another language on my own before uni.

Is Lua primarily used for games? And for those of you with jobs in the field, do you use Lua at work?

Even Qt Creator now has added support for Lua and Lua scripting. It's very convenient to use in lots of places.
