So first of all, this is awesome and props to you for some great work. I have what may be a dumb question, but I've heard that Lua can be used in embedded contexts, and that it can be used without dynamic memory allocation and other such things you don't want in real time systems. How does this project compare to that? And like I said it's likely a dumb question because I haven't actually used Lua in an embedded context but I imagine if there's something there you've probably looked at it?

with embedded scripting languages (including lua and micropython) the CPU is running a compiled interpreter (usually written in C, compiled to the CPU's native architecture) and the interpreter is running the script. on PyXL, the CPU's native architecture is python bytecode, so there's no compiled interpreter.
