We haven't opened this can of worms recently :-)
Pari/GP is a language with these features in common with Lua:
it has several types which at the C level looks like one type,
it is implemented as a library,
it comes with its own scripting language.
The basic function definition syntax was not heavy to start with:
f(a,b,c)=a*(b-c)
but in Pari 2.5 anonymous syntax was introduced:
f=(a,b,c)->a*(b-c)
I'm not saying Lua should do it this way, I'm just relaying the info.
