While comp is pretty easy to use it does take quite a lot of work to set up the environment for building components. I think scripting would be a useful addition and Lua is a very good choice. It is one of the fastest of the common scripting languages and it has relatively low memory requirements.
Implementing a Lua HAL module should be relatively simple. It is just a case of building the interface between Lua and HAL. Lua is designed to be easy to extend so the interface would not be a major problem. Scripting would just be another HAL module with no need for any changes to HAL itself.
