Is the marketing department in Lua so bad that this person didn't even consider it ??
Lua's secret trick is that you are really not writing Lua but C - most of the time when I am writing Lua I am actually thinking in C.
C <> Lua interlop is probably the best designed API out there and other language designers can take some advice - it does't do traditional FFI but something even cooler using something called Lua Stack.
Lua is also tiny ! it can run on embedded devices like hearing aids.
And you also have LuaJIT - which is faster then V8 ! but is not as stable as vanilla Lua.
