As a huge fan of Lua, but not Python, I'm not sure whether to be terrified or impressed by this. Probably a little bit of both.

Actually, I can already see ways this is going to be good for Lua adoption on some of my projects, but also simultaneously threatening, since it means a 'more widely accepted language' could predispose continuing in Lua.

Actually, this is going to be very weird, once word gets out that Pythons batteries are up for grabs in certain circles ..
