I have an idea for an Ncat extension that would work as an addition to
--lua-exec. The feature I'm speaking of is --lua-eval, which would
allow to run simple Lua one-line scripts directly from the
command-line, in contrast to --lua-exec, which requires a file to be
created in order to be executed. The invocation would look like this:

ncat -l -p 13 --lua-eval 'print(os.date())'

An aside, in bash at least, you can do this with --lua-exec as
        ncat -l -p 13 --lua-exec <(echo 'print(os.date())')
