Using Lua for this out of all things is a questionable choice at best, but this is still an interesting project nonetheless.

I assume you're just being inflammatory, but LuaJIT is both much faster than PUC Lua, and FFI allows you to sidestep a lot of overhead either by directly calling into functions of native libraries, or working with lower level manually allocated memory and data structures while staying in your Lua code from the programmer's perspective. It still makes a lot more sense since you will also simultaneously have the convenience of a higher-level language when you're not optimising heavy data structures or algorithms.

Oh, sorry, I didn't know what LuaJIT was at the time of writing that post. Thought he was using regular parsed Lua.

That would indeed be reasonable, but I assume that once again the reason is money: Manufacturing 6 GB simply costs less than manufacturing 6 GiB, but markets itself about as well When talking about memory, KB, MB, GB, etc. almost always signify the binary units, not the decimal ones. KiB, MiB, GiB, etc. haven't been widely adopted by the industry, and are not really used that often outside of free software/GNU/Linux/BSD circles.
