The problem with Lua at least is that in order to do anything remotely useful you will have to pull in a bunch of 3rd party libs from luarocks or somewhere. There's basically nothing in the stdlib at all except primitive functions to build on. At least with bash the host system _is the stdlib_. And you can usually rely on that.
