Perhaps I don't understand your concern, but it seems to me that your 
issue is only with the Lua standalone interpreter, which you are under 
no obligation to use in any project. Indeed, it's pretty unlikely that 
you would use it in an embedded platform (or at least I wouldn't) 
because of its dependency on console I/O.

Core Lua -- that is, the VM, compiler and standard libraries -- is 
compiled as an archive, ready to be embedded into any project you 
desire.
