There are plenty of specialized tools that decompile .luac files — see https://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaTools.

Today Synalyze It! learnt to decode this new format with a grammar for compiled Lua 5.1 files. The advantage is that you see in the hex dump easily the meaning of each single byte.

Thank you to the generous user that shared this grammar and makes it available to all users!
