Would that make it feasible to somehow chain Parrot's Lua to LuaTeX?

My point of view is not so new COM .NET , "plug-in" all share the same concept of dynamic loading --- but the don't know the concept of typographical programming.

Parrot also knows dynamic loading, so that probably makes much more sense than some ad-hoc tethering of the two interpreters. If I understand the design of Parrot properly, then as soon as one language has defined an interface to LuaTeX, that interface will be usable in other languages on the VM.
