I've recently been using Lua, and I love it. That said, I find python a far more appropriate language. Think about the use cases and the ecosystem around python.The quality, breadth, and depth of the Lua ecosystem for the finance/education/data users of excel will lead users to favor Python.

The main thing that might be nice is tables as a data structure for spreadsheets, but somehow I picture pain.
