Lua is a nice language, wich I discovered for teaching (combined with a nifty game which is wonderfully hackable it makes for a very powerful motivator, but I disgress ;-). Just for trivia: Freshmeat (a kind of directory of mostly free programming projects) lists 16 projects using Lua (7668 in C, 46 in AWK, 23 in Forth, 13 in Pike, as random points of comparison). But don't take those numbers very seriously.
