I'm curious about this as well. And it's not just GC: just allocating memory is not real-time safe unless you're using something like a bump allocator. Lua seems very much like the wrong language for this.

Lua doesn't need to use malloc directly -- you can replace the memory allocation function with your own implementation which is real-time safe.
