to (further) promote the usage of lua, it might help if the examples
given in the pdf documentation will also include the (better) lua version...
sure but actually it can be that users have (or find) javascript code
someplace that can help them do something without conversion (and
introducing errors) ... of course assuming proper ecmascript
the interface in lmtx provides a way to pipe into tex (with catcode
support) as well as access to files in the tex ecosystem (controlled) so
it just provides the few interfaces needed on top of a basic engine
conforming the 'standard'
