Textadept[1] is also quite nice, and configured (but not written) in lua. It seems to work fine in MacOS, but I haven't used it extensively.

Straight from your link above:

So it is written in Lua and C (mostly for graphics widgets).

An important thing to note: It has similar customizability to Emacs, but you write your functions in Lua rather than Lisp. It's more than a text editor.
