Ok, this is actually kind of stupid since Taco and Hans are sitting right before me, but we are in the middle of a talk.

Is there a way to start LuaTeX with just a Lua file, but have this Lua file feed TeX input to a TeX process, via tex.print or similar?

Or do we always need to have a TeX file which does some \directlua call before we can have Lua feeding TeX input to a TeX interpreter? texlua oeps.lua

luatex --luaonly oeps.lua

luatex oeps.lua

Sure, but that's Lua only. I don't have a TeX process I can feed with tex.print then, or am I overlooking something here?

No, you are right.
