And: What is Lua? What is it good for?

"Lua, the extensible, embedded language ...  for extending and customizing
applications ...
- Clear and simple syntax (since it is not the main language for most of
its users). 
- Small size and small implementation (so the cost of adding it to the
host will not be too high). 
- Good data-description facilities (to make it useful as a configuration
language). 
- Adequate extensibility (to allow its use in high abstraction levels--for
interfacing with users in diverse domains)."
