I look forward for the day that something like this will be possible. I have already promoted and worked on using wikidata in infoboxes etc, and I have used and promoted (still not much) the use of "Template:Redwd" to link to Reasonator for articles that don't exist yet (or will never do). And I would be happy to promote this on my wikipedia (el.wikipedia - 115000 articles - 800 active users) Of course, there are many things to consider and discuss. Not only technical, but even policy. But to achieve anything it has to be advertised correctly. The Ada Lovelace example is a recipe to get a negative answer from the communities. Wikipedians do not understand and do not even care for the technical aspects of this, even if you tell them that they can have control with Lua and templates. At least the examples should display something familiar and closer to the final product. Most small wikipedias do not have enough (or any) users that can use Lua modules to create complex things. What you will need to do is to provide not only the infrastructure but also the Modules and Templates that will be used, preferably to display something like Reasonator does. If you can provide something like that, even something simple as a first example, I would be happy to promote it to el.wikipedia.
