I really want to see Lua support.

Yes please, Lua support would be amazing. Such an under-appreciated and under-utilized language in backend development.

You can embed lua into one of the supported frameworks, e.g. https://github.com/Shopify/go-lua

Sure, but then the burden is on you to build the Lua-specific tooling and framework around that. Pretty quickly it becomes a bespoke platform which, although fun to build, is rarely an economically sound investment.
