My simpler idea of this (for people who are not looking to build a
compiler) is
that you can use Terra as some kind of C (since it generates .o files that
are
ABI-compatible with C) and Lua as an overpowered preprocessor.

Generating code compatible with C (meaning you can link it or make it a
dynamic library) is an awesome feature IMO.

I have yet to play more with the language but this looks really good.
