Lua can't be multithreaded in any real sense (by "real", I mean "OS threads"). If Squirrel can that's a big advantage.

I thought it could, but I think I might have been wrong... Nope, just coroutines. Sorry for being wrong. However, as it is small and embeddable, it's trivial to spin up multiple instances of the interpreter. But Lua and TCL are just as good at that.
