Lua always did about everything right, at least for me. I'm following
it only since about version 4. I came to Lua precisely for its C
interface. It turned out to be also a very useful scripting language,
very similar to, but still more powerful than Javascript. All this in a
runtime system that can be compiled to down to ~100k... that's what
matters for me.

Regarding the 1-based indexing - You can always initialize with
{ [0]=... }, and whoops, it's 0-based. This was a minor annoyance when
we wrote a raymarcher in Lua (ported from GL, ported also to
Javascript, but Lua looked better than JS).
