Wow, there are a lot more EDA programmers on HN than I'd expected, some of whom I even recognise by name.
On topic, it's probably easier to embed Lua than Tcl, though you may miss some of the libraries. The language is cleaner (in some sense). For an EDA application, the only real problem is what your customer is supposed to do with 20+ years of scripts that they've written that are specific to their flow :)
