One thing I really came to appreciate while developing LuaCocoa was
the lack of a built-in object system in Lua. While getting tips/help
from a key RubyCocoa/MacRuby developer, it dawned on me the additional
complexity they had to go through to manage the fact that their
objects essentially needed to multiply inherit from both Objective-C
and Ruby and behave like both. Lua on the other hand had no object
model to get in the way.

It really underscored to me how Lua really is an extensible,
embeddable, language.
