Lua is on "my list" actually, Fortunately I am only forced to work in C for one particular project (sorry if that sounds negative, C-heads, I'm just a messy enough person to require garbage collection to stop me from messing up too bad).

Lua is, IMHO, "Javascript done right". It's nice to have the option of writing C code but letting Lua do garbage-collection on common userdata.

Lua replaced Python for me - it's a great language on its own. TCO and pattern matching (http://github.com/silentbicycle/tamale) go a long way.
