I think that one big advantage of Lua (also Python and Ruby) over Guile for extensions is that the techniques you use in Lua programming are a lot more generally applicable to writing one's own scripts and programs in the future than Guile's - not just in Lua, but also in Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, C, and so on.
