I developed an Emergency GC patch [1] for Lua 5.1 (Lua 5.2 come with this feature). With this feature it is easy set a per Lua State/script memory limit. The Emergency GC feature is needed to allow a custom allocator to force the GC to run when the script is at it's memory limit. My EGC patch has been in use by the eLua [2] for years to help run Lua scripts on Microcontrollers with as little as 64Kbytes of Ram.
Also Lua is fine for large projects [3].
