Or not. I used to think as above, but I now see that if you need
language with batteries, you should go for Python or _javascript_. Lua's
strength is lack of any baggage, which makes it better for embedded

I used it in EastWest's PLAY library, too. (That is, in fact, the reason I joined the list in the first place.) Though unless things have changed since I left it's only available for instrument creators, not end users.
