I am looking for a lightweight scripting language that's easier to use than Bash.
It would be cool if I could call C library functions from it.
Would lua be adequate?

Apparently calling C functions from lua requires making a C module to register those functions, which is lame and defeats the point of dynamically calling C functions without having to recompile anything.

this is true for all programming languages. I guess you could try using lola or buzz and then auto-generate the bindings using zig comptime capabilities
