Lua is a wonderful language. Small, terse, extremely powerful, easily embedded, and fast. I'm a huge fan of it. It does suffer from the lack of a robust standard library, because it is intended to be embedded, where it should inherit the majority of its functionality from the host application. That said, when embedded in a rich host environment, it's a marvelous tool.
