My bat just simply demonstrated, you could compile and test it yourself if you wanted to.
No decompiler can decompile it, afaik.
Lua is not an acronym.

qaisjp I never done much compiling. I actually don't know much about it. Made some experiences for fun and that was probably the second or third time I mess with luac/luadec. No experience at all at this but don't expect much protection to decompilation in Lua work. There is always a way...

I should've mentioned that it also depends on the size of the file, something that small can be decompiled with that method. Try this file, which is quite large (as compared to the other one):
textlib.lua
