FlightGear needed a built-in scripting language, and it has one.
A compact, clean, elegant and fast one. In total there are at the
moment more than 170.000 lines of Nasal in *.nas files and a few
thousands embedded in joystick drivers, dialog description files,
model animation files, keyboard.xml,
I've been silent in this thread mostly because I'm not very active as a
developer these days, but it got me wondering why one would use lua
instead of nasal.
Searching for 'lua nasal' in google the first hit describes it all to my
opinion:
Nice try, let me flip it right back at you : how telling of you to mix facts
and your extremely biased opinion while accusing me of the same :)
Not interested in debating this, never suggested Nasal should be dropped
from the main FGFS tree.

Melchior is exactly right. JSBSim adopted the property system - which is a

Yes.

As far as I know there hasn't been any comments of lacking nasal

I don't read from Nicolas' posting as that he does not like Nasal.
Instead, he just explains in much detail why he considers his favourite

In the interest of clarity, moving to OSG was a good, if not brilliant move
(some potential sources of revenue would have it as a requirement as far as
open source engines are concerned)
It's simply a bit bloated, by default, although I suspect you don't have to

Hi Nicolas,
for the sake of completeness it should probably be made clear that the
person who's been trying to express strong emphasis against inclusion
of another script interpreter is by no means in a position to issue a
veto.
The share of FlightGear developers who would like to see support for
just a minor curiosity:
what are the advantages of using LUA instead of Nasal ?
Cheers

Hi all, let me start that my goal here is NOT to start a polemic on the
reasons for using nasal vs any other scripting language, or the scripting vs
