Thanks Peter and others. I've changed the last paragraph as follows, am now up to 149 words, and am shooting this to my editor immediately:
Lua may well be the lowest-level of the C-based scripting languages: it is a "register-based" virtual machine, and has some hooks directly into C. Lua originated in Brazil but, designed especially for embedding, is particularly popular with game programmers worldwide. Look into Lua, and become a better Javascript programmer!
