* Is Lua UEFI port maintained?

As I understand things, Intel is maintaining CPython 2.7x for UEFI, and they also helped with Lua port. 

I'm wondering if Lua EFI port is actively maintained?

Asking for someone else, see below.

In addition to developer audience, it would seem that there some need for pre-compiled binaries of Lua, for QA and sysadmin audiences. In addition to Lua binaries, Python binary would also be nice. The CHIPSEC project includes pre-built CPython for UEFI binaries for x86 and x64, none for ARM (as CHIPSEC does not target ARM). They don't include their CPython build in their github source project, not do they include hashes for the EFI binary they distribute.

Thanks,
Lee Fisher

PS: I hope that CPython 3.x is on the radar of the CPython for UEFI maintainers. UEFI is the only remaining issue for me to use 2.x... :-)

Can someone please provide a link to download lua.efi. I couldn't find it on www.lua.org or any other website.
Looks like Lua is disabled on my machine in EFI mode, it pops up following error when running even a basic lua script:
"unexpected symbol near ' '"
