Lisp is the best language for the job!

Yeah I don't see why one would want to write extensions in anything but lisp. Lisp is way more powerful and straightforward! :)

I use both a lua-configured mail-client, and a lisp-configured emacs. Of the two they're both powerful and extensible, but the Lua config feels more natural to me.

Hmmm but does the mail-client let you load code in without restart?

The Lua also might feel more natural just because of having used imperative languages more.

It can do - there is a trivial eval(read_input()) facility baked in.
