The Lua maintainers, at least, are both reticent and cautious,
compared to other language maintainers.

I agree: I used to use Lua for general-purpose scripting, but found
that its lack of libraries, whether built-in or available in language
or OS distributions, was too much of a headache. I use it now
precisely where its small size and lack of dependencies make it easy
to integrate.
