Yeah, I'm going to have to agree here. Neat language, but I've always found Lua's C integration to already be one of it's strengths(along with a low-overhead VM).

I still would love to see more applications of Lua, it's a really nice language. On the first commercial project I ever worked on we ran all game logic in a 400kb block on a platform with less than 8mb of system ram. Was impressive stuff.

I've produced two (console-based) email clients using Lua for scripting, and every time I try to automate a new job I find it amazingly fun to use.

http://lumail.org/ - Maildir only, which needs to be fixed.
