Well, top of my head, Android does JNI, and so LuaJava becomes a
contender (i.e. embed the C interpreter). In my experience LuaJava is
a very seamless way to get at JVM goodies without the dozens of little
classes - and because there's an overhead per class in Java, a Lua
solution is likely to be rather more compact.


Looks like I'm not alone at finding Java a bit object-obsessed ;-)
I see that LuaJava is untouched since January 2007. I gather that it's still usable? 


Then get a remote Lua interpreter going and some rcp-like capability
and testing changes to your application becomes as simple as dofile()
;)   This trick works very well on desktop LuaJava, none of that fat
JVM startup time.


Interesting idea, thanks.
