World of Warcraft is written in C++. Lua is used for user interfaces and for extension development, and other things that aren't computationally expensive. It's a scripting language that is commonly used in many games because it is made to be embedded into other languages like C++.

That's about all I know about Lua. Never had any reason to study it as I'm not getting into game development any time soon.

Probably for the same reasons I could never be bothered with game development on a serious basis

It gets very boring, one collision detection routine is pretty much like any other collision detection routine

There's nothing in particular that I don't like about game development, it's just not the career path I've chosen. I'm trying to improve on what I know, not suddenly go off in another direction.
