Lua is high-level programming level and C not? At least some years ago
C was also a high-level programming language ;-).
SCNR.

It would be cool to have something like the mentioned "plugin manager"
which downloads, build(if necessary) and install various plugins by one
click and without any further user interaction. I'm not against
something like this.
But I think this could (and should) be done itself as a plugin and I
won't work on this.
