So what lua needs- is a c-compiler, that allows "static" library code to compile additions directly into dll, that those can be reused by lua via api

It isn't terribly hard to write the bridge code to lua, just monotonous to translate inputs and outputs from C++.

You throw a lua function into a table (usually tables are used as namespaces and globals are just a table) and then make that C++ translate to your normal one and handle the return value correctly.

The hard thing is building a system to pass in a C++ object in general as that required building a table for each instance that matches its class.
