The language is Lua, and the word "embedded"

Question

I read about the Lua language, and I was confused with three lines:

• Lua is designed primarily for embedded systems and clients.

• The only competitor of Lua then was TCL, which was supposed to be built into applications.

• Lua is designed to be embedded in other applications,

So, what is the difference between the meaning of the word "embedded" in the first line and the word "embedded" in the second and third lines. What does it mean that the language needs to be embedded in other applications?

Answer 3

1 states that Lua is for devices that have a specific purpose instead of many.

2 and 3 claim that Lua can be implemented, for example, in a C ++ application to execute a function.

For example, part of the application may use Lua, but it can also mainly use C ++.
