Lua has always been my favourite scripting language, but the other day I
thought just the same thing. njs seems to be quite small and fast enough for
use in a game. I don't know what kind of gc it uses, though.

Many people are more confortable with javascript C-like sintax and scoping
rules, so if your end users are going to touch the scripts, that may be a
benefit. It also seems to be easy to embed.

Anyway, if you try it, I'd love to hear about your conclusions.
