Others have made their reservations known... Number One question, 
what microcontroller?

Lua needs a memory heap (in general), 32-bit integers (unless 
you're willing to do a lot of whacking), and AFAIK anything with a 
few KBs of SRAM has tons of Flash memory. If your part's Flash is 
so limited, something more like a compiled-BASIC would be more 
appropriate.

There has been attempts at a cut-down language etc, but it 
wouldn't be complaint-Lua anymore.
