It's Lua, not LUA. It's Portuguese for moon, not an initialism.

I wonder why people do this. Happens a lot with Java too.

    I've not seen it so much with Java, but for Lua, it's not an English word, and most things in software are either English words or acronyms/initialisms, so it's usually a safe heuristic to assume anything that isn't an English word should be capitalised.
