This free, fifteen minute screencast demonstrates how to create a Twitter client that displays the public timeline in a table view and uses a shake gesture to refresh the view using iPhone Wax, the open source Lua language based way of creating native CocoaTouch apps for the iPhone.
The video also highlights iPhone Wax’s TextMate bundle. The bundle can launch the simulator right from TextMate, interact with the iPhone SDK documentation, and — very clever — will transform Objective-C functions into their Lua equivalents.

Pretty cool Dan.
The lack of Unicode is certainly apparent though, anything being done about that?
One minor correcto, self is how iPhone Wax is doing its OOP, Lua itself is prototype based with meta-tables that make it easy to build your own OOP.
