Can I safely assume you mean x86 assembly code and not the Lua VM
"assembly code"? Also, can you give more details? Are you talking about
something like:
function = assemble [[
somename: push ebp
mov ebp,esp
sub esp,#somespace
mov eax,[ebp+incoming]
...
ret
]]
(pardon the Assembly---it's been quite a while since I last worked in it)

I can see wanting to skip C++, but what's wrong with C?
