Hans, you missed the most important point: Though Lua is a very modern and extremely powerful programming language with very interesting concepts, the main advantage is that it's easy to learn. Whether Lua is designed for embedded systems or not is quite unimportant to end-users. Otherwise you could consider GNU guile, a Scheme engine, too. Nothing against Scheme (or OCaml, Lisp, Perl, INTERCAL, Whitespace...), but for casual TeX users there is nothing better than Lua.
