The \luatry would have to save quite a bit of state information for this to be useful, which is not feasible on short notice (imagine having to save some 400+ globals and hooking into a few dozen data structure operations) > 2) will be possible to embedding some other language ie Python (of > course, reading the C source) ? If you want to change the sources yourself, then yes. Otherwise no. If luatex were to allow this without recompile, nobody could rely on a stable platform for interchange of documents.
