That's a cool case study! I like the sentence: "The Lua project has
been incredibly understanding about our somewhat heretical approach".
Shows the benefit of going beyond skin-deep, if you have a community
of C developers and want to please them. Interestingly enough, the
Unix old-timers tended to use AWK for this purpose of scripting &
prototyping (see Bentley's old Programming Pearls column)
Another C-like Lua derivative is Squirrel:
