Given CMake's compatibility guarantees and Lua's…lack of it, we'd have been stuck with Lua 4.x or something (or supporting every version of Lua since then at the same time…nobody's idea of "great" IMO). If CMake had chosen an existing language when it started, it'd likely have been Python 2.x, Perl 5, or Tcl. Not sure that any of these would have been strictly better decisions in today's world than the status quo.
