FWIW, this is my preference, too.  I'd even be game for keeping the
libraries in C if we could switch to writing the executables in a HLL
(preferable Python ;).

Note that this would not necessarily imply a 2.0 release. Nor would it
preclude a future implementation that uses Lua in some capacity. The
Lua thing is neat, but I think that is going to be a "try it on a
branch so we can evaluate the benefits/costs" rather than any advanced
buy-in.
