Actually, "embeddable" has two quite different meanings, but Lua is
embeddable in both of them. A lot of non desktop/laptop type computers
uses Lua currently.

And "small" is not relative to desktop/laptop type computers. Even for a
very small laptop, if Lua grew ten fold, from its current ~200KB to 2MB,
it would make no difference at all.
