Unfortunately I am only slightly aware of Lua to say how nicve or how bad it is. And we are
not sure how well it supports the single-line-stepping that permits the nice graphical
visualization of Stefan's sequencer.

It looks like python has the single-line-stepping built-in as a standard feature
and python is a more popular and more versatile machine, so to me python looks
like a better choice compared to lua (obscure), perl ("nobody uses it anymore")
or bash (ugly syntax).

K.O.
