There is now a serious alternative to lua: Jx9 which uses a syntax similar to C and JavaScript and is being used in many commercial games. http://jx9.symisc.net/

Re:Jx9: A direct competitor to Lua on Tuesday January 15, 2013 @04:24PM (#5063102)
I think the Jx9 license is correct and acceptable for open source softwares since many open source projects embed BerkeleyDB which use this kind of license.
Cool stuff, I' think we need more direct concurrent to LUA in the field of embedded scripting languages.
Re:PHPPHP: a PHP VM in PHP on Sunday December 30, 2012 @08:11PM (#4987824)
PHP has the wind in its sails or what? last month i got pointed to PH7 ( http://ph7.symisc.net/quick_intro.html ) which is an embeddable PHP interpreter (bytecode compiler + VM) for C/C++/Objective C host applications (amazing piece of work) and now I'm investigating this stuff.
Amazing PH7
