Lua is tops for "easy integration with C/C++". Tcl is almost
as simple. Tcl, as it happens, offers at least a half-dozen
distinct idioms for Tcl-C co-operation. One of these is
called, "stubs". Lua lacks stubs, to the best of my knowledge
(although only straightforward if tedious effort lies in the
way of someone who wants to endow Lua with stubs).
