Lua has a nice C API, I use it a lot at work. Driving the Lua
interpreter from C and collecting variable data back to C is
particularly easy. (forgive me for jumping in, but I just worked in
this a few days ago)

Can you elaborate just a wee bit on how the
script talks to hardware?
The script doesn't talk to hardware directly. Libdiscferret provides
the hardware interface layer, in the form of bit-twiddling (actually
register POKEs and PEEKs). The Lua script takes a parameter set from
the application (current head, track and sector, etc.) and converts
these into a pin state.
