Why would you ever opt to go thru Lua in this case?

It's well supported, well maintained, and around for the foreseeable future. (OpenResty)

The language implementation is fast, and allows you to tap into any C-compatible library.

The question isn't why you would go through Lua, but why you would choose something with less support?
