Missing LICENSE
I see you have no LICENSE file for this project. The default is copyright.
I would suggest releasing the code under the GPL-3.0-or-later or AGPL-3.0-or-later license so that others are encouraged to contribute changes back to your project.
Lua projects are usually MIT or ISC, making this gpl would render using it in games (which is what lua is usually used in) not possible.
MIT and ISC are both compatible with GPL. Upon further inspection, I would recommend LGPL-3.0-or-later.
It is up to author to choose a license. however, most of the lua ecosystem is ISC licensed. FWIW if this project was infected with a viral license I wouldn't pick it.
GPL is not a viral infection. It is a copyleft license that makes sure the forks also include freedom. With permissive licenses, the downstream forks are often proprietary.
