I can only talk for myself, but for me the reasons are the following:
- Lua:
A new language to learn that you won't have use for anywhere else.
- Controller (not player):
Any Controller applet could only be accessed through the Controller
while a SqueezeCenter plugin could be accessed through

Actually, I was excited about Lua. I've been doing java for ten years,
and its clear that Java is showing its age. So a nice, clean,
lightweight language has a lot of attraction.
And after 20 or 30

Lua seems to be pretty popular in the Gaming industry, but eg. Adobe is
using it too in their Lightroom product:

Are you saying that the discount I got on the APL self-study course
wasn't such a good deal after all?

some of them, yes. It's a very good point. With resources on the
payroll, and meetings for employees, then much of what used to be open
is not what it was.
Note to would-be Lua/plugin developers - get that IR emitter doing
something useful!

I just figured since the controller needs a pretty significant firmware

I think Lua is one of the problems - Perl is a pretty basic tool which
pretty much any professional developer has had at least some experience
of. Lua on the other hand is very niche. No-one's even heard of it where
I work, and we use most of the other trendy scripting languages daily.

I've been thinking along similar lines. In particular, I notice

headphone jack.
So I was surprised when I found out that Logitech took it on themselves
to activate the headphone jack. This is fine with me - I'll
