I don't have much experience with lua, other than writing a few simple
programs and gawking at how elegant the whole thing seemed, but yeah,
lua seems like an excellent thing to keep in mind while writing this...

I'm curious if anyone's done a recent survey of scheme implementations,
as there certainly seem to be a lot of them, including some that at
least appear to have similar goals to pika (e.g., sawfish's rep).

Hmmm, actually a quick search of debian packages shows:

   drscheme - Scheme Programming Environment
   elk - the Elk Scheme interpreter
   gauche - A Scheme implementation designed for script writing.
   guile-1.6 - The GNU extension language and Scheme interpreter
   mit-scheme - The MIT/GNU Scheme development environment
   mzscheme - Rice University PLT Scheme Interpreter
   oaklisp - An object-oriented dialect of Scheme.
   rscheme - Threaded, persistent, OO, scheme interpreter and compiler
   scm - A Scheme language interpreter.
   stklos - An efficient Scheme System providing a powerful Object System
   scsh - A `scheme' interpreter designed for writing system programs

... and a quick shell script to add up the executable sizes + library
sizes (excluding common libraries like libc and X libs) + loaded binary
images shows:
