I took a quick look at lumail, and it seems to be almost 100% C++, with just 
the user's configuration file as a Lua script (albeit the config file 
contains all of the keybindings).  I'm not knocking it, it looks great, 
maybe I'll even try it... but I really don't see it as an example of a trend 
from "glue/embedded" to "written in Lua".
