What language did you find was easier to embed, and how does it handle the lifetime management that Lua's embedding API handles with its stack?
The language itself may be a matter of taste. I prefer languages which, "in the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess," but certainly I've spent enough time using Perl, bash, JS, and BASIC to be able to deal with Lua's relatively mild level of DWIMminess.
