Yes, I mean Lua, not Loa :-p Lua is a nice language. Like you said, it doesn't have many libraries as Python does. Plus, it's still evolving and the libraries are changing. I found a few functions not working last time I tried kepler libraries. It's good for embedded systems though because of its small footprint. Extensions implemented in C makes it possible that the installation size doesn't blow up when new stuff is added, like in Python.
But I still like Python better for its power and for the style of the language itself. And I was hoping to find a Python implementation that bears the principles of Lua to make it suitable for embedded systems :) >> PHP may fit but I don't quite like the language.
