I use Delphi to develop app for Windows.

To answer your first question, YES you can use Lua in Delphi. Simon J. Stuart has an incredible blog/website where he has created a number of really useful stuff for Delphi developers. His Lua4Delphi suite will help you integrate Lua scripting into your Windows application. Go to: http://www.lakraven.com/ or http://www.simonjstuart.com to check out the rest of Simon's stuff ... highly recommended!

With regards to the second part of your question (writing a Delphi app for WP7), that would be NO ... you're out of luck there (as Mason mentioned above).

It's definitely possible to integrate Lua with Delphi, but good luck getting it to run on Windows Phone 7. WP7 will only run apps built in the Silverlight or XNA frameworks.

Windows Phone 7 is not possible now, and is not likely to be possible in the near future, using Delphi, or even with Delphi Prism. Key elements of Microsoft's WP7 SDK are limited to the two current .NET core languages (C# and Vb.net). If Microsoft decided to help out remObjects a little bit, then a delphi Prism targetting Windows Phone 7 could become a possibility, but that is out of RemObject's hands, and its unlikely that Microsoft will be interested in helping them join in on the WP7 platform. Perhaps with sufficient engineering dollars, someone could figure out a way to force their way into the WP7 SDK.

Lua is a pretty simple C library, and it should be possible to put it into a DLL and load it into your delphi program. You could write your application in windows, with delphi, and use LUA scripting, and if you find a .NET "lua interpreter", like LUA.net, you might investigate integrating that into a WP7 app that you wrote entirely in C#.
