And Lua[1] can be even faster, if you use LuaJIT[2] instead. I believe
one could use Psyco[3] for Python, which is also a JIT compiler.

What are your issues with the Lua syntax? There are patches[4] to make
it more C-ish, as in adding /* */ and // style comments, and C
operators instead of "and", "or", etc. But then you can no longer call
it Lua. I doubt you would be able to call Metalua-ized code Lua either
:-)
