I wholeheartedly agree; I would, in fact, encourage you to play around
with making toy languages to figure out how they work. I was under
the impression, though, that you had practical goals to achieve with
this project, in which case a toy language is probably not going to
work as well as one that's been tested in the real world for a while.
Lua is an especially good choice because it's used a lot in game
programming, and if you want your MUD to be cool, you'll probably want
to attract some extra programmers to it. It's a LOT easier if they
already know the language.
