I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but Roblox has forked Lua and improved it a bit, including adding types to it so it does have proper int types.

I had a look and it seems to run twice as fast as Lua when types are specified... not groundbreaking but pretty good... and it seems to be about as small as Lua (they removed some stuff to make it safer to embed in games by default, but added some new stuff as well).

BTW, you can also use (native :-) DLisp (revived from undead)

One Problem with Janet is that it uses computed gotos which is a gcc extension
The code it complains about looks like:

    /* opcode -> label lookup if using clang/GCC */
#ifdef JANET_USE_COMPUTED_GOTOS
    static void *op_lookup[255] = {
        &&label_JOP_NOOP,
        &&label_JOP_ERROR,

As you can see &&label is not valid C11.
Which is what the import C parser complains about.
