Not in the case of Lua. Well, the "whole language" part is correct, but Lua is a very tiny language spec. It's "standard library", however, is the opposite of "complete".

Also false for Lua. It is designed to be embedded.

Embedded environment in this context means hardware low on resources, e.g. microcontrollers. Your perception of that word is "embedded into the C/C++ program". These are two different things. I agree that Lua (like some other languages) were designed to be embedded into C/C++ apps.
