i'd like to make a small presentation for friends about
context.
Why do we use lua and not python or perl or...


you can. google for “luatex lunatic”.
you’ll have to build a little module defining the macros you use, though.
(like \ctxpython, \directpython and so on)

Where can i find the features for lua for this job?

In what sense? Context core code will never use \ctxpython, \ctxruby, \ctxperl, so it will be module specific as one cannot depend on libraries being on the system, at least not before luatex is stabelized. Btw, I'm not sure if Luigi made a module for it (if he still uses python at all).
