Perhaps, though C is completely non editable to many sysadmins and lacks easy to use builtin routines helpful in scripting (maps, lists, tuples, string manipulation). At least a simple Lua script should be comprehensible to the average sysadmin in case they need to debug or trace something, even if they never write anything.
