Hopefully the interviewer did not cut you out because of the project, because there's many valid reasons why someone would use Lua: - "no need to use C++ for non-performance critical sections of job." - "The nature of the game does not require high levels of optimizations to implement the game" - "This is just the MVP, lua lets me iterate more quickly" (totally lying, you're totally going to ship the game as is)

i.e. "why many word when few do job"
