Haskell is very successful. It completely dominates the niche it 
was aiming for, a shared language for functional programming 
researchers. Sure, it lacks some namespace capabilities needed 
for writing large programs, but that is not needed for research...

I am not particularly fond of Lua, but I am not sure that 
breakage is a problem for an embedded scripting language as you 
can just stay with a particular version and even fork the 
language with low cost. You don't need to focus on interop 
outside your own application.
Lua and Python are the two dominating contenders in that niche 
(embedded scripting engines).
