It's quite popular in some areas, particularly as an embedded scripting
engine in games.
Having written one substantial program in Lua, I can say it's not a
great next step, particularly if shell scripting is a good solution to
the OP's current problems. Lua is clean and simple, but as a
replacement for shell...no. Just, no.
Besides, it isn't in the main CentOS repo.
