You mean Lua ? Not powerful enough ? What do you mean by
that ? Lua is great IMHO. Sure it does not come with thousands
of libraries, but the language design is extremely clean, the
language constructs powerful and the footprint very small.

16kloc of C code can't hurt your embedded device can they ? ;)

Please tell us what kind of limitation you find in Lua ...
