My problem with Lua and MicroPython is that your actual code takes up memory, ie even comments. Micropython can now compile to bytecode and load that, though, so it's better. I've had problems with Lua trying to load one or two hundred lines, though.

Lua is perfectly capable of compiling to bytecode and running that as well...

Oh is it? It's been a while since I last tried it, I'll have another look, thank you!

Can't say about NodeMCU or whatever, but Lua has had bytecode and all since Lua 1.1, back in 1994
