• xonsh

  112 7,986 8.9 Python

  :shell: Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell.

  

create a lua shell the way xonsh is a python-powered shell

• ptpython

  17 5,039 6.9 Python

  A better Python REPL

  

create a repl to the standard that ptpython sets for python (both croissant and ilua leave a lot to be desired)

• luv

  14 775 8.1 C

  Bare libuv bindings for lua

  

To answer the OP's question, you could tackle luv and libuv ecosystem, as a way to connect Lua to real-world systems (files, sockets, servers...). That's one way to put Lua skills to use, there are other great answers in the thread. Another recommendation is to go through Programming in Lua book, especially the later chapters where you learn how Lua talks to the host application.
