[m2m-iwg] Lua makes its way into NetBSD's kernel

I highly encourage you to have a quick look at this excellent slide deck from Marc Balmer's presentation at FOSDEM 2013 https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/event/lua_in_the_netbsd_kernel/attachments/slides/278/export/events/attachments/lua_in_the_netbsd_kernel/slides/278/kernel_mode_lua.pdf

I find particularly interesting that the rationale behind this initiative is very similar to why we think Lua is appropriate for M2M:

<<

•  Modifying software written in C is hard for users
•  Give users the power to modify and extend the system
•  Let users explore the system in an easy way

>>

Cheers,
