Surfing around, to find out what may be happening to address Real-Time incremental Garbage collection for Lua...
I bumped into this paper from IBM....  any chance Lua will eventuality be the scripting language of preference for Real-time systems?

.....Lua sure compairs as clean and very elegant compared to Python's lack of proper closures as well as non existent proper Co-routines.  Any thought of filling out a fully functioned,  semi standard Lua implementation that would be an alternative to Python/Numpy's MatLab style  colon vectorized multi dimensional array implementation...... I just like how clean Lua's design seems to be at it core...
...  With a good growth plan....it could become what Python could of become if it was being more eloquently architected.....

   I have to hand it to the apparently rather bright Lua language design folks down in Brazil!
