Hi Maurice,

What about Lua, Adding one more dependency to ConTeXt make it more difficult to install and maintain. So what is the advantage of luo in conTeXt instead of ruby?
Lua will not be 'in context', but 'in pdftex': the lua library will be integrated in the executable, as a true extension language that can be used besides and interleaved with TeX's normal syntax. Lua is probably the best language for this sort thing, because its code is small and very easy to extend/embed. On the user side of things, nothing will change compared to the current 'update your pdftex release' stuff. Using LuaTeX will eventually probably mean extra functionality, but the most likely sort-term result is a gain in processing speed, because the in-line scripting can reduce the number of needed TeX runs.
