In order to be "as light as possible", I would like to launch only 1
process to monitor everything (and probably keep it in memory as a
daemon) again to avoid zillions of processes fork as with nagios or
bigbrother probes.
But, in the other hand, I would like to keep the possibilities for user
to create their own checks easily, and I think it's easier to
dynamically add modules with interpreted languages vs compiled ones
("require" vs the need to build an load .so)
Among interpreted languages I know, Lua is clearly the more resource
conservative.
