You should look again. Lua seems to be the slowest of the bunch.

Whoops, yes, you’re right!

Now I’m tempted to try speeding it up, there’s no way it should be behind Python...

I haven’t checked the code, but I’m also hugely surprised Lua did so poorly. Even the default non-JIT interpreter should be way faster than Python.
