(offtopic)
Afaik, NetBSD plan to include lua interpreter in kernel. it is optimized embedded environment.
(more offtopic)
in kernel interpreter is needed some concern. 1) restricted stack size (typical userland VM often use >100K stack size) 2) restrected memory allocation, especially high order allocation often fail. 3) GC often makes unacceptable large lag especially on UP kernel. etc etc So, We can't apply rich interpreter (e.g. Dalvik, Parrrot) so easily. I think. personally I prefer minimum component.
Thanks.
