Never tried Lua. I know SL4A supports it, but the only thing scripted I went with was Python.

I used it to configure my Awesome WM setup.. Cried blood, but looks fine now.. Except than that, I have no opinion on Lua, but why does your project require Lua?

lua is not so much valuable by itself, quite honestly there are more capable scripting languages like Python and Ruby which have a much wider module base. However, it is very useful to leverage it to add a scripting component to various applications. For example, Gary's mod uses it. And a little bit more malicious of an example, flame (that new malware that was just found) had a built-in lua interpreter so that the controllers could script the infected clients.

Flame is where i got the idea from , my idea is basically the same thing but less complicated, just a basic (rat,trojan,w\e u wana call it) base with a lua interpreter

with alien lua has access to the WINAPI plus you can code in c\c++ (more ?) and have lua access it. will be a fun community project, since anyone can write scripts for the (rat,trojan,w\e) and then post them :)
