hey, both GML and DACS has some of that too! ;-)

VM["print"] = (string s) { writeln(s); };
VM["add"] = (int a, int b) => a+b;

wow, now we can print things from script, and (for some unknown 
reason) use function to add two numbers. with DACS you still have 
to declare function prototypes, but with GML it will "just work" 
(including conversion from internal nan-boxed doubles to strings 
and ints, and back).

GML is somewhat limited, but can be extended, and it almost as 
fast as Lua. DACS, with it's JIT, is sometimes even comparable to 
gcc -O2 (but only sometimes, lol; and LuaJIT still makes it look 
like a snail).
