Creating my own ecosystem.
With my recent foray into Lua programming, and seeing just how many pure Lua modules there are for some tasks (like lua-lockbox for crypto primitives), and the fact LuaJIT can interface pretty easily with any C ABI, I've definitely considered it, especially since I could modify existing software to shove a Lua interpreter in for my needs.

Lua: Good, Bad, and Ugly Parts
Lua is a very nice piece of technology. Its source code is pretty easy to get into, the documentation is complete.
It has its quirks yes, but if I need to add scripting to a software, I'd consider Lua before considering writing a DSL, simply because you can pretty much embed Lua's source in your C/C++ software as a static library[0].
The stack-based approach makes it so easy to interact with C/C++, and I've been looking at the Rust bindings[1] recently out of curiosity, looks promising.
