It is used by Roblox game developers to write game code, as well as by Roblox engineers to implement large parts of the user-facing application code as well as portions of the editor (Roblox Studio) as plugins”.
  • Luau "Why Luau?".
    • “Around 2006, Roblox started using Lua 5.1 as a scripting language for games”.
    • “All of these motivated us to start reshaping Lua 5.1 that we started from into a new, derivative language that we call Luau. Our focus is on making the language more performant and feature-rich, and make it easier to write robust code through a combination of linting and type checking using a gradual type system”.
    • “Please note that at this time we are not ready to make Luau implementation publicly available in the source form. Right now the only interface to Luau is the Roblox engine (exposed in Roblox game client/server and Roblox Studio)”.
