You're wrong.  Lua has been around for ages and is especially widely
used as a game scripting engine.  It is not intended as a standalone
language, but as an embeddable scripting engine.  We could easily create
our own scripting language based on lua with FreeBSD-specific functions,
and there would be no fear of interfering with third-party software,
because it wouldn't be called lua.
