Better use \luaexpr.  From the manual:

The \luaexpr command can also better deal with for instance conditions,
 where it returns true or false , while \cldcontext would interpret the
 boolean value as a special signal.

Although I think my solution is superior because you can just type

   \eval{1.0*sin(pi)}

instead of

   \eval{1.0*math.sin(math.pi)}
