I have used it production (embeded/mobile), and I liked a lot. Their associated tables are just awesome.

The problem with Lua is that object oriented programing is not necessary a first class citizen (you have to create it from scratch with object prototypes) and that Python occupies the same space and has sucked the oxygen out of it.

Think of Lua as a much leaner/simpler Python, and better for embeded situations.

Lua can also be massively faster than Python (LuaJIT).
