Back in 2013 at the Lua workshop 2013 in Toulouse. It was actually Lua's author who recommended we go with 5.3. The fact that 5.3 is officially tagged "beta" has more to do with how the Lua team releases Lua (their "process") than with the language itself. So 5.3 is not "work in progress" anymore.

I don't think we rush. Marc and I have discussed on this and we conclude that Lua 5.3 is sufficiently stable and have significant advantages over Lua 5.2, such as integer subtype and bitwise operators.
