I’d love having lua (and metalua), too. But I also doubt it fits well with J. Its tables make for a neat data description language, too, imo. I like them better than the JSON/yaml/whathaveyou style (whereas for most purposes other than config files, I prefer either a db or csv files).

In the end, I guess this would end up at about the same functionality as Lua does for tables… so I don't know what's more effort: implementing everything in J/C, or binding Lua. There's been a time I would have loved to have Lua instead of J's explicit language, but I guess that would end up as a different language :).
