Counter proposal:

1. Define the Lua execution environment in the kernel.

2. Add syscall to submit a precompiled Lua program (as bytecode)

3. Add syscall to execute submitted Lua program

And yes:  I'm being 100% serious.

If we are going to reinvent "Channel Programs" 67 years after IBM
came up with them for their 709 vacuum tube computer, at the very
least we should use a sensible language syntax.
