f the things we'd like to do
is shallow clone a specific sha1 commit from e.g. GitHub. [I think
GitHub has this disabled though? I haven't been able to get it to
work.] I guess this feature was a step in the right direction but it's
not usable AFAIK. Tags are not really suitable as th
r performance claims, you dismiss them and then ask for
code to compare? Code which is primarily bindings to C which does all
the work? No thanks, that circle jerk doesn't interest me.

I don't see how these languages are more appropriate based on your concerns.

As for Lua's suitability for your (2) point, I admit I'm not familiar
with how much "interacting with the outside world" the git commands
do; however, I would suspect that it is not significant enough to rule
Lua out?

If the API calls are generic (don't require special handling), you can
use some preprocessor magic to save time/space.
