So we can look at it from 3 angles (or more):
(a) it's excellent syntax
(b) smaller binary chunks
(c) faster execution time

I'll leave out (a), since it is so subjective. For (b) and (c), 
what kind of savings did you see for your embedded system? Was it 
significant, given the available capacity? For us on the list, can 
you provide us with ballpark specifications of the embedded 
processor? (The last bit is getting OT, but it is interesting to 
find out if someone is using a previously unreported-on-the-list 
embedded processor for Lua...)

Thanks for answering my queries,
