Lua: your code looked fine to me. https://github.com/darius/superbench has my own bits of Lua. LuaJIT won my personal bakeoff there for a language with a good mix of productive and fast, but I still haven't actually used it much.
C++: I chose it for a project at Yahoo with a couple of other programmers over several months, because it seemed the right tool for that job, and it worked out fine with few surprises. No longer a nightmare! Still not worth learning really well, to me.
Curiously, blockfreq runs surprisingly slowly, and actually seemed slower with luajit. I wonder what gives. too much data in the heap maybe? haven't done any profiling.
