Implementing a subset of C or C++ as a scripting language is actually a lot of work, and is not fun to actually script in.



I have a hard time imagining that. PHP for example is fun to script in, and resembles a C/C++ more than Lua does. Of course fun is subjective, and I have no idea about the issues of embedding (why Lua works for that, and why other languages haven't got more traction).
