 Hello,

 is it possible that Lua gets value of a MetaPost variable?

 Let's have MetaPost code:

 z11=(0,0)
 z12=(1,1)
 z21=(0,1)
 z22=(1,0)

 aa[z11,z12]=bb[21,z22]

 So now aa = bb = 0.5.

 And I'd need to access MetaPost values 'aa' and 'bb' from Lua (e.g. in
 Lua: "local a = mpost.aa, b = mpost.bb").

 Is it possible somehow?

no

I don't know how MPlib handles metapost terminal output, but if you can capture the terminal output in lua, then you can use

show aa, bb;

in metapost and parse the output in lua.
