\definemathmatrix
  [pmatrix]
  [left={\left(\,},right={\,\right)}]

\startluacode
document = document or {}
document.matthias =  document.matthias or {}
local function lua_columnvector(a)
 context.startpmatrix()
  for i,v in ipairs(a) do
     context.NC() context(tostring(v))  context.NR()
 end
 context.stoppmatrix()
end
document.matthias.lua_columnvector = document.matthias.lua_columnvector  or
lua_columnvector
\stopluacode

\def\columnvector#1{\ctxlua{document.matthias.lua_columnvector(#1)}}

\starttext
\startformula
\columnvector{{1,2,3}} %% watch the double { !
\stopformula


\stoptext
