I started to get annoyed that my mail-client of choice (mutt) didn't have a real-scripting language, just something that was kinda-sorta-like one, with big holes. That lead to me writing a console-based email client which has a core written in C++, and the UI and most handling written in Lua. My configuration file is 100% lua, and the whole system is pretty flexible. I've stalled over the past year, but I guess that means it is feature-complete with no glaring omissions! https://github.com/lumail/lumail/ https://github.com/lumail/lumail/
