Nice! I don't see why you'd need a separate Lua time series library if you can call out to an Rserve with the "Time Series" task view installed. I'm mostly an R (and Perl) programmer these days. I'm learning Lua mostly because it's how Redis 2.6 does scripting. A combination of Lua, R and Redis (with the 'rredis' package) seems like a powerful set of tools.
