Writing bindings isn't something I have a lot of experience with. The main difference I'm aware of is the FFI system, which creates bindings from C headers, and will result in faster calls with good JIT support. I assume it introduces some extra security challenges if you care about that. You'll still probably need to write some wrappers, either C-side or Lua-side if you want a nice API. I know there are other tools for creating bindings, but again, not my area of expertise.
