Using a more modern language and implementation for embedded scripting. Lua is simpler and smaller in all senses, thus it may be easier to get hands dirty with it. I see a lot of people using Tcl as an excuse. It's not that the language is hard, it's just that it's quite useless to learn in 2012. I think Lua doesn't have that baggage, and it is already used in many places. > We don't have a test-suite so I don't see how we can change to Lua > with any confidence. Test schmest. If it breaks then please use an older version or better yet send a fix. Obviously changing should not knowingly introduce problems, but that hardly needs saying. I also think that if some scripts work then all scripts will work - I don't think there are very many different types of hooks? //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
