Why Smart C Coders Love Lua

I like Lua, but after going all in on Gambit-C^1 for a bit, I'm not sure anything can top its level of integration. Besides compiling to C, it just lets you straight up write C inside of a .scm file.

    (c-declare #<<c-declare-end
    #include <stdio.h>
    c-declare-end)

    ((c-lambda () void
    #<<c-lambda-end
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    c-lambda-end))

    gsc -exe embed.scm && ./embed

I think all the arguments of the article still hold if one changes "Lua" to "Tcl". (well, the general arguments, not anything related to the Xedge framework).
