Yes, golua (several forks available, one for 5.2) does the basics of
providing the API in a Go-consumable form.

But still, it's a pain to make Go functions available in Lua.  I have
an extension library around which makes it much easier to register Go
functions (uses reflection, yay!) and marshalls maps and slices
appropriately.  I can dig it out if anyone is interested.

You should put it on github!

That can be interesting, and if there are some cool libraries in Go they could be accessible to Lua with that.
