Lua is rated the fasted scripting language availabe.

Graal's scripting language was made by Stefan, it has nothing to do with Torque (other than the special GUI control syntax), it is merely compliant with some standard that I forget the name of.
Lua would be an improvement because it is a stable and well developed, and compact language. Of course we can't simply use Lua as it is because with Graal, security needs to be considered so Stefan would have to modify Lua to add security measures before he could use it.
It's too much work at this point.
I'm also obligated to say that I think Stackless Python is a better choice than Lua, but would be harder to modify for Graal-level security I think.
