you can make a plain format operating in the same 'space' as context with
luatools --make plain
I tried plain only for testing purposes. My goal is to be able to use LaTeX. Also I don't have a "context space": As non-Miktex-files I use currently only the executables luatex, mktexlsr (and kpswhich) and a texmf.cnf-file.
eventually i will make a plain variant (probably a bit more more plain than plain) with basic open type support (for other formats you might need to add --compile to the make call)
If you mean a complete plainTeX-format: I at least don't need it much ;-) But what would be really fine were extracts of the context code: E.g. a bundle of self contained lua-code and tex-code that leds to an extended \font command (or a \font command with extended syntax similar to xetex) with opentype/ttf-support. If such a primitive were present it would be probably quite easy to write the LaTeX support e.g. by adapting fontspec. Or a bundle which can be used to convert other input encodings to utf8. Or a bundle of the code which sets catcodes and lccode etc. -- Ulrike Fischer
