Yes, that's very easy, and that's what I did for many years.

I linked Lua because it is my favorite language and in most cases I
write Lua code much faster that I write Lisp... and I _did_ try to
write hooks to process the output of an inferior Lua process to write
code that would process some kinds of outputs as sexps, but failed.
Emlua is a personal project that is helping me to bypass some of my
limitations with writing hooks and filters in elisp. I hope that it
won't make people blame me for the next 1000 languages that will be
linked to Emacs using modules... =/
