I havent encountered Simkin before. The theory behind it seems similar to
the origins Lua, ie. embedded and for configuration. At quick glance cant
see any higher level types than the basic number and string types (ie. Lua
has tables). Looks quite nice and simple though, although interesting slower
than Lua despite Luas power?!

Have a look at toLua and luaSWIG for this, they will do your binding
automatically. There are other libraries to do binding manually as well:
