LUA. LUA! www.lua.org. Tomsrtbt includes Lua, I have a Lua interpreter
that is way expanded with the luasocket networking libraries, the regex
regular expression libraries, and the md5 hashing and ecryption libraries-
and the whole thing still takes only 90K! I had the basic Lua interpreter
down to 70K! I reviewed all of them when I got fed up with awk (Mawk is
not able to handle nulls, and Gawk is grossly overweight...), and for the
small-footprint user, Lua was by far the best I could find...
